Portion of a booklet on Ebay 09/2007, for the 1958 Rodeo at Bakalar AFB.
"The Air Force Reserves' Troop Carrier Rodeo which took place on 8 - 11
March, 1958 at Bakalar Air Force Base, Camp Atterbury Drop Zone,
Columbus, Indiana. The program contains 16 mimeographed pages including
a letter from the base commander, Colonel Junius W. Dennison, Jr.; The
Base Mission; The Rodeo - What It's About; Schedule of Events; General
Information; Movie Schedule; Maps of the base and drop zone; Operations
Organizational Chart, Scoring Rules and score sheet. There is also a
copy of Wing Regulation Number 55-3 from Headquarters 434th Troop
Carrier Wing (M), and a small 12 page pamphlet titled "This is the
Hoosier Wing", about the 434th Troop Carrier Wing with photos of what I
believe are C-119 Flying Boxcars. This wing was mobilized in 1962 for
the Cuban Missile Crisis."
