If you'll have a look again at my post, you'll see that I quoted directly from their web site. I only said that the Company of Military Historian's plate said that the band was disbanded in 1970, but that the USAFR's history contradicted that, not that the band was not around today. The band fact sheet implies that the band was never disbanded.

Things like that happen often in the military.
Yes, as a military historian I am quite aware of that. :mrgreen:

I'm all mixed up now as far as what tartan is what. :confused: Maybe someone (MAC?) could chime in?
The Lady Jane -- became the USAFR tartan.
Mitchell Tartan -- worn during the 1960's by the USAF Pipes & Drums.

I'll take a look again at the plate when I get home this afternoon and see if I can find their sources. I'll also fire off an e-mail to the Band via their web site. Matt also may have some information.

Cheers,

Todd
