| Gary L. Hearne Lewes, DE | I was assigned to VRC-40 NAS Norfolk, VA 1978 - 1983 and amassed over 1,000 hours in the COD. Grumman awarded me a Plaque for over 1,000 accident-free hours. I trained some of the first female aviators in VT-3 in the T-28's and many others in the COD. I always carried my SLR Camera with me and have thousands of pictures of CODs and many other aircraft and ships. I landed on 11 different carriers. The last one being CVN-70 USS Carl Vinson. My Father flew his last 2 weeks of active duty with me in 1982 and we deck-qualified the Vinson. 100 hits on each of 4 wires and 100 shots on each of 4 CATs. It took 3 CODS all week to do it. My Dad stayed aboard and took some really great pictures of me coming and going. VRC-40 was the RAG for all carrier pilots flying the CODs and we kept their planes up to PAR for them. I was flying with his Squadron in 1973 in the C-118 (DC-6). We had picked up 65 pax from NAS Kingsville, TX to take them to the Tailhooker's Convention. They left me alone in the cockpit to go in the back and eat breakfast and that is when Engine #3 decided to blow 2 Jugs right off of the top of the engine. Really shook the airplane. Lots of fire, oil, etc. and two big holes through the nacelle. Red handle worked as advertised; and then I started dumping fuel, because we were full and going down. Those Jet guys were all reaching for the ejection handles. It took us all weekend to put a new engine on it at Nellis AFB then fly it back East. Wouldn't you know it, those two O-6's flew it into the ground at NAS in a fog that we shouldn't have been flying into. The base was closed. Totaled that airplane and that new engine, but we all walked away. Glad to hear you guys got out of your crash okay too. Those engines do quit once in a while.

| Scott Davison Freeport, IL | Charles McDaniel, It appears you are the new owner of 136778, mudflap girl. aka, Rosebud as I new her. This was the last plane shot off of the USS Franklin D Roosevelt before her decommissioning, with me in it. I e-mailed Daniel Serrato for a while about stopping by to take a look at her but see you are the new owner. If I was in your area would a visit be possible? Thanks, Scott Davison 01/16/2015 @ 06:36 [ref: 68889] |
| Paul WIget Mentor, OH | Wheelchair 7 was originally a VR-21 Detachment Japan plane flying out of Atsugi, Japan, Cubi Point PI and Danang. I flew in her several times in 1964 and 65. She was one of the newly refurbished planes with a new paint job and interior so we used her for VIP flights. All of our planes had call signs starting with "Wheelchair". 05/05/2014 @ 07:24 [ref: 68467] |
