"Wild Children"

Number of Aircraft: 4230266
Derivation of Name: On returning to Cut Bank, Montana, from a period of submarine patrol out of Bermuda, the Squadron flew low over the town, prior to landing. The pilot's wife claimed that she could look down into the cockpit from her third floor hotel room. She referred to the crew as a bunch of "wild kids" -thus the name Wild Children.
