Congratulations on your promotion!!
This is the right place to find the gents who made IOIC go. I passed your request to my list which is mostly flite crews.
Excerpt from my Osprey book:
After the Mediterranean deployment which included the Six Day War, Ron Pollard stayed in RVAH-5 and went to Vietnam on Constellation. A tour instructing in the Recce Rag followed. 1973 found him involved in another Arab-Israeli war, this time as commanding Officer of RVAH-14 flying from USS Independence.
‘I was sent on a PECM flight covering the coast of Israel and the belligerent countries to the east. We were so intrigued with the excellent hits (on the RHAW indicators) we were getting, I stayed on track a little too long and realized I was not going to make my Charlie (landing) time. I had plenty of gas so went into max afterburner to the delight of the air controllers on the ship who computed my speed off the radar. As I approached the Indy, I noted the recovery was over, but the ship was still into the wind. I was cleared straight-in and I kept thinking, I’d better not bolter. I didn't.
‘The PECM data showed the Israeli Hawk batteries moving on the counteroffensive. That flight was the first indication that the Israeli Army had commenced their famous and successful counterattack. The attack guys didn’t get to do anything, but we recce types sure stayed busy. The Yom Kippur War was followed by the OPEC oil embargo and tensions in the eastern Med stayed high.’
Welcome Aboard Commander!
