The nearly complete list below is due to four member's efforts ... thanks to Steven L. Smith in saving and copying 5 years accumulation of order sets ... Michael McCowan's submission of the PCS orders of Dec. 24, 1963 ... Captain Baker's save of SO T-89 ... and Jack Quillinan's exhaustive orders set that included the final 482nd Era set issued July 27, 1965, from ADC HQ relieving 81 Airmen & NCOs from duty with the 482nd and transferring them to the 328th Fighter Wing at Richards Gebaur AFB, MO.
"The following named Officers, this unit, will proceed on or about 12 June 1963 on TDY for approximately 20 days to Key West Naval Air Station, Florida to accomplish higher headquarters directed classified project." Capt. Robert L. Baker was designated Detachment Commander. Six F-102s would be flown and 8 pilots assigned. Two pilots would drive, 1st Lts Charles M. Simpson and Robert F. Zembraski. Besides Capt. Baker, the five other pilots were Capt. Paul D. Davis, Capt Kenneth W. Gero, Capt. Nicholas R. Ranone, 1st Lt. Donald L. Kaufman, and the sixth pilot (unlisted on the orders) is thought to have been 1st Lt. Daniel J. Sherlock.
One officer and 50 airmen were assigned on June 11, 1963, to "proceed on or about June 13, on TDY for approximately 30 days to Key West Naval Air Station, Florida, to accomplish higher headquarters directed classified project." A rotating TDY was maintained until the unit was made into a Permanent Change of Station Detachment.
