This site is dedicated to the memory of the 6937th Communications
Group and to all those stationed at Peshawar Air Station.
PAS was established in 1958 as an isolated detachment of the United
States Air Force Security Service located in a remote area south of
the city of Peshawar, Pakistan.
The veterans of the 6937th are proud of their service. It is
the intent of this website to help preserve that pride by sharing
the history and memories of this important intelligence unit while
hopefully reuniting some past friendships or creating some new ones.
All alumni of PAS are welcome to send us their special memories,
experiences, or photos that they would like included in this
website. All visitors are encouraged to sign the Guestbook and
participate in the on-line Forum.
Special thanks to all the Alumni of Peshawar Air Station for their
contribution to this website. Without your photos,
information, and above all, your encouragement, this project would
not be possible.
The Peshawar Air Station was formally closed on January 7, 1970, but
the memories continue to live on for the "Peshawar Bandits" who
served in the North West Frontier Province of Pakistan.

"Badaber is
gone. In life and in death it served a noble purpose.
Its spirit and memory will live on amidst the music of the spheres,
refreshed alike by the soft chords of angelic harps and the harsh
cacophony of electronic blips. We shall not look upon its like
again."

About
This Site |

It
wasn't long after Sept. 11, 2001 that all the newscasts were
filled with stories and commentary about Pakistan
and Afghanistan. Memories of my time and experience at
Peshawar Air Station came flooding back. Having
lived in that part of the "world" for 15 months of my
life, it wasn't difficult to understand many of the
"issues" that the rest of the country was now
hearing and learning about for the first time.
I had
long wanted to try my hand at developing a website - one
that could generate a following and would have
sufficient content to keep everyone's interest.
Thus, www.6937th.org
was born in October 2001. This is a work in
progress and a special thanks and appreciation has to be
given to all those fellow alumni of Peshawar Air Station
for their ongoing contribution and commitment
to this site.
 My time at PAS was from July 1966 to Sept. 1967 as a 2T
Staff, 292x1 Dittybopper on Able Flight. I look
forward to hearing from other PAS Alumni as we all work
to keep the spirit and memory of PAS alive.

Group, Peshawar Air Station Website webmaster. |
