| J Henely , IA | Hi Ed, I came to 542 in the summer of 76. Did you ever know a Ben Cruz, or Dennis Knowles? It was nice to stand behind the warm exhaust on those cold days and nights. 04/16/2008 @ 18:24 [ref: 20567] |
| Ed Turk , WI | I was in VMA-513 Ordnance from 1971 until early 1974 when I was assigned to 542 until my discharge. It was a fascinating plane and the exhaust was nice and warm on those cold mornings at Bogue Field!! 04/09/2008 @ 10:50 [ref: 20402] |
| John Henely , IA | I worked in powerplants on the av8a back in the 70's. It was a challenge sometimes, but we did get the job done. It is nice to see that the harrier is still flying today. 12/25/2007 @ 19:29 [ref: 19052] |

| Alan Mortimore Essex, IA | Hi, in my earlier email I put down VMA 213 at Cherry Point as the squadron I was in when my time was up in the Marines. It was in fact VMA 231. I spent most of my time in VMA 513 in Beaufort, S.C. 1971-1973 in Avionics. If there's any Space Patrol members out there, please contact me at: alanem@mchsi.com. 06/24/2007 @ 15:07 [ref: 16924] |
