| Daniel Serrato LaGrange, GA | It looks like I will be closing on BuNo 136778 this week, and I need some Blue NATOPS to keep in the plane and to study. The plane will be flying in the southeast. Anybody with late editions willing to part with theirs for a good cause?

Would very much like to correspond with LARRY MCCONNELL who was on the Ranger C-1A crew at that time. Please email me @ tonygin@aol.com. Thanks! Tony 09/09/2008 @ 09:14 [ref: 22639] |

| Kerry Popernack Mill Run, PA | Flew Navy-136748 out of NAS Oceana in the early 70s. Loved the bird. We went up and down the Eastern sea board delivering anything from parts to Lobster and beer. Took it back to the L.I. plant and a couple of old timers came out to look at it. Found serial # 40 in it and they said is was the oldest C1 still in the Navy at the time. 06/18/2008 @ 12:18 [ref: 21548] |
| Larry McConnell , CA | I was a C-1A crew member on the USS Ranger from 1970-1973 and attended crew school at VRC 50 I had a great time flying and seeing places all over South East Asia. 04/25/2008 @ 15:26 [ref: 20719] |
| Bill Montague Oakland, CA | We currently operate Grumman C-1A Bu.No. 136781, a former VRC-30 aircraft based at North Island Naval Air Station, San Diego. We've just began flying her after about six years of re-work including both engines overhauled and new props and a bunch of major and minor improvements. The work was performed by Aerocrafters, a warbird rehab/maintenance shop at the Santa Rosa (CA) airport.
We would be happy to hear from anyone who has a story to tell about this airplane. We have made contact with a former X.O. of VRC-30, Cdr Doug Eller, USN (Ret), who now resides in Half Moon Bay, California. Anybody out there who has information or a story regarding this lovely flying machine, drop me a line. Bill Montague warbird3@sbcglobal.net 03/31/2008 @ 14:10 [ref: 20305] |
