| Craig Clary Hemet, CA | Dear Mr. Welling
I could agree with you more about VMFA 323 Death Rattlers, my cousin served as CO of that same squadron in the mid and late 1990s, his name is Ray Priest (call sign CLASH) he was an F-18 Pilot and loved what he did, anyways if your looking for Phantom patches, you can find them at a web site called Planecrazyenterprise.com they have everything you would want in the way of Phantom patches, I know this because I have seen them on this site ans this web site is truly incredible, enjoy. I hope you have a great Memorial Holiday and thank you so much for your service to our Country. 05/22/2008 @ 18:27 [ref: 20988] |

| lloyd welling sacramento, CA | To the lady looking for a phantom fixer patch
Semperfimac.net has a 15 inch one for 16.00 dollars. I am also looking for a smaller patch of the same design if anyone can help it would be appreciated. I served with VMFA 323 "Deathrattlers" from 74-77,best squadron in the Marine Corps with no shadow of doulbt! Could tell lots of stories of TDY and being stationed at one of the best duty stations in the world.The F4 was a power plant nightmare at times,we had a fuel bladder problem in 75 and we worked our asses off to get birds back in the air for flight opps. September of last year I was fortunate to attend 323 Change of Command Ceremony at MCAS Miramar along with another Snake of the F8 era.Humbling thing with all of their bragging rites and their recent missions more interest was in the history of our time spent in this great squadron.Outstanding Marines! Semper Fi! 04/05/2008 @ 10:06 [ref: 20344] |

| Don \"Dutch\" Schulze Nashville, TN | Served proudly with VF-111 the Sundowners from '75-'78. Made two cruises, a Westpac and a Med. During that time frame we were the BEST F-4 Phantom squadron flying. We had accumulated more than 20,000 hours accident free flight hours (which was unheard of for a sea-going squadron), and we also won two consecutive Battle Efficiency awards AND A Chief of Naval Operations Safety award. We were a proud bunch, and the funny thing is...after all these years, we still are :) 05/14/2006 @ 10:25 [ref: 13275] |
| John Valdez ROWLAND HEIGHTS, CA | I was a Phantom Fixer with VMFA-531 stationed at EL Toro from 1978-81.Did the Cruise aboard the USS Coral Sea.The F4N was the workhorse of Fighter jets.I was a final checker during flight operations and seeing the F4 getting launched from the flight deck in full afterburners is something I will never forget. 01/31/2006 @ 21:33 [ref: 12382] |
