Hi please look at my comment wall. There is a member who is soliciting me. You will see the comment above yours. He is one of those “I’ve been looking for you to give you money from Dubai” scammers.
Thanks for the welcome ! Just trying to get familiar with the site. Was in when the Cuban crisis took place. Saratoga CVA-60 was ordered out of the Med. at the time to sail for Cuba. I was a third class p.o. at the time working aviation electronics in my Squadron.
I was a flight student under retired Capt. Finn Wilster, RVAH-9, when I was learning to fly gliders in the late '80s. Pretty much the total opposite end of the spectrum from a Viggie. He had a huge impact on me, not only as an aviator, but also as a person. I just recently learned of his passing, and thought that this would be the perfect place to tell some "Finn stories ".
I am researching the IOIC system associated with the RA-5C. I am specifically looking at the Mediterranean deployments of the SARATOGA/RVAH-9 and AMERICA/RVAH-5 in 1967 (Six-Day War) and the JF KENNEDY/RVAH-11 and INDEPENDENCE/RVAH-14 in 1973 (Yom Kippur War). I would like to talk to any intelligence officers or PH/PTs that made those deployments about the IOIC system. Sea stories welcomed!

Hey Terry. Thanks for the welcome. I was attached to RVAH-13 when the wing was at NAS Albany from 1970 -1971. One Med cruise aboard USS America.
