Brendan Gaughan is paying tribute to a dear friend who’s retiring from the Air Force by running a special paint scheme at Lucas Oil Raceway Park at Indianapolis. Rendering of the No. 62 Air Force Combat Control Tundra is posted on the #62 NCWTS 2011 Paint Schemes page.(7-25-2011)
UPDATE:Gaughan normally displays the black, red and gold colors of South Point Hotel & Casino on his No. 62 Toyota. For LOR, his truck will be low-profile in camouflage with a big, personal meaning. “Our paint scheme on the No. 62 Tundra this week is going to feature the Air Force Combat Control Team. Master Sergeant Phillip Freeman, whose call-sign is ‘PIMP,’ is retiring in early August after many years of active duty and many tours. I’m really excited to do this with him, and with the Combat Controllers. It’s a full-camo paint scheme. My dad, myself, the South Point Hotel & Casinowe all do a lot to be involved with the military. We appreciate the military. If we can get a ‘W’ with the special paint scheme we might have to run it more than once,” said Gaughan. Gaughan, or “BG62” as he is known to the troops, is the honorary commander of OL-B 720 OSS USAF Weapons School, Nellis AFB NV. OL-B 720 OSS is the Center of Excellence of all Joint Terminal Attack Controllers (JTACs) paving the way in advanced tactics, techniques and procedures. JTACs are the men who control airstrikes from the ground while attached to a large or small ground maneuver element. Brendan has also been unanimously voted in as the youngest civilian to become a member of the Combat Control Association which is quite an honor. The CCA is a brotherhood of all USAF Combat Controller Team members past and present.(Germain Racing PR)(7-27-2011)
