  • Hello, late reply to your note after 8 years. Hope you are well. I know personally the SLR capability made a big difference in missions over Sardinia in the Med and Laos as well as Vietnam.
    Tom Whitaker, RVAH 12.
  • Hey Gary! If you are still alive, Happy Birthday, SAM.

  • RVAH 12 1/10/47

  • I should look at RecceNet more often. I had to look at the cruise book to recognize you and I did. I am finding the golden years are not so golden. I kept on working on corporate jets for over 35 years. After I got out of the Navy, I found that I really liked working on airplanes. Got married, had 3 daughters and now 4 grand kids

  • Oh, but the way Gary. my e-mail is      itipup47@gmail.com

    Hope to get a note from you, for life is too short to let neat events go by.

    John

  • Hi Gary! Yes, I do remember you! Such a small world, and it is so great to hear from a fellow "Speartip". I went to my America Cruise book and checked your photo just to be sure. Do you have your copy? Listen, I just love to talk with old shipmates, so I will give you my e-mail address, if you do e-mail, and it would be great to be able to catch up on life and all that stuff. If that is OK with you. Did you see the pictures I posted in this forum? The one called "On the Pod" is me, Cunningham and Haugen. The shellback item was quite an event for sure. I tell my family about it once in a while, and they love it. Well, I shall end for now my friend. I hope to hear from you via e-mail, and on this site. I shall send you a friend invite on this site. Just so darn good to hear from you.

  • Gary,

    Just curious if you were with the 12 on board the Constellation in 1967?

    There was a Wiggins in the Squadron at that time.

"James,
        Did we serve together? I'm having trouble placing you. We are about the same age so it seems like we would have served together. I worked the ASSC shop on the ships and was split between 12's hanger and AIMD for SLR and IR back at NAS…"

"Sam, I was on the flight deck with you when the fuel cans were dumped that day. Unforgettable. I was telling my son in law about that a few weeks ago. Now I can show him the photos.

"Michael, Sorry I used the wrong date of when I joined RVAH-12. It was early July 1968 in the Med on board the Forrestall. I just had a senior moment, that's all.

"Michael,
       I didn't join 12 until mid 1969 Med cruise on board the Forrestall. The wiggins you might be thinking of could be Andrew Wiggin that I think was an AQ or CWO John Wiggins. I was an ATR working the SLR and IR benches in the ASSC shop.…"
