More: Nov 3 1999 I RECEIVED YOUR MESSAGE AND JUST WANTED TO KNOW IF ANYONE WAS STILL AROUND. I BECAME AN ENSIGN IN FEB 53 AND REQUESTED WEST COAST DUTY. I ENDED UP IN MULTI-ENGINE AND THEN FLEW P2V-5. OUR SQUADRON WAS OVER THERE WHEN THE CONFLICT ENDED. WE CAME BACK TO THE STATES AND MY CREW WAS SENT TO PHOTO SCHOOL AND THE NEXT TOUR WE PHOTOS OF CHINA FROM 8,000 FT. I WAS THERE WHEN THEY EVACUTED THE TAI-CHIN ISLANDS. MY SQUADRON WAS MOSTLY OLDER GUYS WHO WERE IN THE RESERVES AND THEY WERE CALLED UP. WE CAME HOME THAT LAST TIME OUT THERE FLYINY WEST--WE MOVED A WHOLE SQUADRON AROUND THE WORLD. I HAD A WONDERFULL TIME IN MY NAVY DAYS THEN I GOT OUT AND WENT WITH EASTERN AIRLINES AND STAYED WITH THEM A LITTLE OVER 30 YEARS---I STAYED IN THE RESERVES AROUND 16 YEARS WPate31565@aol.com
