| Daniel S.Walton Barnegat, NJ | Do you remember how many Black boxes were in the back of that plane? :) I was naval air reserve stationed in Lakehurst, NJ. Served in the Cuban Missile Crisis in Guantanamo Bay. Those were great times. - Daniel S. Walton 12/10/2007 @ 12:22 [ref: 18869] |
| Sam P. Jewell Ada, OK | I was in ATU-402/VT-27 1960-62.
I was an AO2-AO1 in the ordnance crew. Good squadron, I got flight pay every month while attached. Sam 07/18/2007 @ 14:48 [ref: 17172] |
| Sam Gillett , TX | I worked in the electric shop of VT-27 at NAAS New Iberia, LA. First as an AE striker (AEAN) then as AE3 and AE2. The most fun I had on the old bird was flying on the test hops out of major maintaince to parallel the generators. Also flew as crew member on a few of the training missions, and on cross-country flights. Oh yea, flew to NAS Pensicola to provide ground support during carrier quals. That was fun too. This was in 1962 to 1964.
The old S2 was a fine bird! 06/10/2007 @ 13:05 [ref: 16797] |

| Mark Felhofer SA, TX | First aircraft NATOPS qualified in as an Utility Aircrewman. Flew to fix broken TS-2A's or just to go on cross country flight that the student pilots and instructors made from time to time. Someone had to fuel and oil the aircraft. Did this in VT-28, NAS Corpus 73-77. 09/09/2001 @ 18:43 [ref: 3154] |
