| Dave Kordatzky , Oregon |  I was stationed at Whidbey 1971 to 1978. Attached to VA 165: 1971 to 1974. Yes I shipped over to VA 128. Looking for info on BOOMER Reunion also a BOOMER Patch. I have been back and it is not the same as it was back then. Had great times there. Can't remember all the good times but recall a few good ones, especially at the OHT. 11/19/2008 @ 11:52 [ref: 8523] |
| James Hoy Oak Harbor, Washington | Your info is correct about the P-3 and the KA-6D however, you are missing another A-6 and two EA-6B's that are also on display on whidbey island, I will do my best to get some pictures of them so you can update your page. 10/31/2008 @ 19:54 [ref: 8490] |
| Bob Deal Vancouver, Washington |  I was at NAS Whidbey Island in the 1960-62 period with Search and Rescue. As close as I can recall when I was discharged we pulled eighteen people out of the sound during my era, mostly civilians in trouble. I played softball on the NAS base team, we took first place. The guys I still have a newspaper clipping of that were on the team with me included; Bob Vanhuystee, Bill Brown, Duel Chinn, J. Bonvini, T. Brown, Mel Taylor, J. Wright, H Reetz, K Parmley, D. Dolan, S Mullen, A Ried, C Bonnelycke and G. Tibbett. Got married to my high school sweetheart while stationed at Whidbey and we're still together today. Good memories. I don't expect anyone there at the time will stumble across me here but if you do feel free to email me a note as I would look forward to hearing from you. 07/16/2008 @ 16:53 [ref: 8245] |

| Charles E Anderson University Place, Washington | I entered the Navy in 1949 and was transferred to Whidbey into VP-931 in September of 1951. Our hangar could not occupy a Lockheed P2V-2 aircraft unless it was put on dollies and pulled into the hangar sideways. We deployed to Kodiak when we returned to Whidbey, our personnel were flown back in two Navy R6V Constitutions. We also stood alert for the seaplane base when the weather was to nasty for PBM flying boats to get airborne. Mostly good memories of shipmates and the Navy. 01/25/2008 @ 20:44 [ref: 6704] |
