Past Members of the USAF Shooting Teams

This page is under construction. Any volunteer labor (in the form of information) will be gratefully accepted. Please volunteer by sending your info to Edwin Hall (USAF Ret). A special thanks to MSgt Donald R. Rupp (USAF Ret) and TSgt Arnold Vitarbo (USAF Ret) for volunteering their valuable information and filling in many gaps on this page.

This page is an alphabetized list of past members of the USAF Shooting Teams. Many of the dates are estimates or left with question marks. This page is an attempt to catalog all the past members and any significant accomplishments of each. Accomplishments are not limited to the active time spent on the team. Any corrections or additions should be sent to Edwin Hall (USAF Ret).

Special Note: A project is underway to add some photo links to the members listed here. These links will be displayed after the member's name, in parentheses with the word "pictures:" and each link will be represented by a number. The numbers do not represent any chronological order and the linked image will not highlight the member. However, in some instances, further links from the Gallery, may navigate to a page where members' names are displayed by placing the mouse cursor over a face. These links do not necessarily represent all the pictures of an individual, either. It is rather an attempt to provide some pictures of the greatest number of past members. Please browse our Gallery pages for more pictures.

An alphabetized Quick Index of names is located at the bottom of this page.

... As a side note, he belonged to the first Air Force team (thrown together by Gen, LeMay?) to compete in the inter-service matches and defeated the Marine's winning streak. When they ran out of ammo the Army and Navy offered their spare ammo - "just beat the Marines" they were told. Either they did not need it or the charge was not correct for the AF rifles and the Army Navy assistance went unused. My dad took great pride in that meet.

The USAF Rifle Team was one of the primary interests of my dad's 34 year service ('34-'68) in the Army Air Corps/Air Force. He accumulated a few hundred medals and entire sets of the sterling NRA silverware they offered in lieu of medals... - Karl Kemm
