| Wes Doak Sacramento, CA | Spent from 1955 to 1961 with VP814 based out of Minneapolis, MN. We served several stations stateside including Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn and Ponchetrain in New Orleans, LA. Would love to hear from anyone who served during that time. I was an ordinanceman and an aircrewman. Cheers! P.S. We single handedly kept the Ruskies at bay during that time!!!! 11/19/2008 @ 12:08 [ref: 23103] |

| Dick McIntyre Bakersfield, CA | I spent many a happy hour in the afterstation of BuAer #122467. It was the experimental version of the -7, with a minimum crew. I was an AE, but since the plane was so "automated" (a WHOLE BUNCH OF RELAYS), they needed an AE along on every flight. I calculated I spent about 230 hours in old Tach Test #17 (TT-17). John Bailey was the plane captain and Red was the second mech. The plane commander was LT Commander Tvedt. Made many trips to Johnsville and Newark (Bendix) and to Key West to test MAD gear. I traced 122467 to Litchfield in the 70's and then found it had been struck and probably scrapped. (Shed a tear!) 12/30/2000 @ 17:51 [ref: 1277] |
