Comments: Looking for anyone that can substantiate my flying in a Helicopter over to the USS Ranger in March '65 to visit my brother, Roy Baker and on to deliver the mail to the escort ships and then on to Danang.

Also, anyone that can state that they knew that I flew off the Coral Sea on July 04, 1965 on the COD, into Danang and then on to Subic before going on the the States for Separation. It seems as if the Ships Logs are sealed and I cannot get the flight records. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Bob Baker

Comments: I served with VA86 aboard the Coral Sea during the 69-70 Westpac cruise. Sometime that winter we went to Korea (not the March 68 deployment). Does anyone know the dates we went - and WHY we went - I always thought we were there because of North Korean captured the USS Pueblo, but now know that event happened 1/68 (I was in "A" school at that time and would not have been aboard ship). Would like any information about this deployment that is available. Thanks M.Blackwell
