I am a plank-owner at Callender Field. We decommissioned the Lakefront NAS in Dec.1957 and commissioned Callender Field in 1958. I was a member of VS821 at the time, later transfered to AWS82,as an Air Controlman.
I entered the Naval Air Reserve on 4 Oct 1957,The day the Russians put up the 1st "Sputnik". 03/06/2007 @ 18:04 [ref: 5691]
