The photo of the RVAH 5 officers had to be Key West with CDR Hanson. Also in the lower row was an officer from the 74 RVAH 13 cruise that went to 5 from 13 as it decommisioned. I belive his name was Gaynor. The interesting thing for me of the 74 cruise was CDR Queen. When 13 was made an RVAH at Sanford I was TAD from 3 to it and Queen was the personnel officer so was suprised to see him again when I joined the squadron on that cruise.
