| Manuel (Manny) Amaral South Dennis, Massachusetts |  Hello to all the Airdales out there. I was stationed at Quonset Pt. with the VAW-33 Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron. I worked in the leading Chiefs Office from about 1961-1963? I was then TAD aboard the Saratoga on a med cruise.Returned from the cruise and then was shortly discharged there after. As I get older (like now)my memory fades me. I don't remember any of the names of the guys. But I'll never forget their faces. I have fond memories of Quonset Pt. Its weird now the Sara is in Middleton,R.I. And I live only about less than 2 hours away from her. Anyone who would like to e-mail please do so. I salute all of the fallen veterans and the present who are fighting for our freedom at this present time. 05/25/2008 @ 15:33 [ref: 7820] |
| Ken Patchogue, New York |  This is a nice museum that has some interesting aircraft and a good location. It reminds me of HARP in Floyd Bennett Field with the setup of a very old hanger and outside area as well. I wish them luck in their many restoration projects! 04/05/2008 @ 16:55 [ref: 7277] |
| Harold Davidson Sandpoint, Idaho | I was stationed at NAS Quonset Point in VC-12 back in 1950-51 as an AL3 when we were flying AD-3W and 4Ws experimenting as extensions of the Canadian DEW line radar. That was before Texas Tower installations. Flying in those old birds was cold as hell during the winter and the exposure suits were a joke. Your breath exhaust from the oxygen mask would freeze down the front of the Mae West. 04/14/2007 @ 14:30 [ref: 5829] |
| Marc Jacob Sr. Eugene, Oregon | I had my first duty at Quonset Point back in 1972.I was sent to a Aircraft Firefighting School in Lakehurse NAS. I was then sent to a base next to Quonset Point at a base called Charlstown NALF as a Aircraft Fighter. That base was real nice. There was only eight of us on that whole Base. Working 8 to 5 M-F. We got to live Off Base, party after party. Nice Duty. Then they closed the Base. Then my Duty was on the USS Saratoga, CV60. 02/11/2007 @ 07:34 [ref: 5608] |
