Steven C Neunhoffer CANYON COUNTRY, California | I was "Heartbroken" to see the P3B's and C's taken to ARMAC! Even though I was a Cement-Headed 18 y.o. at the time. I have Very Good Memories of Serving 3 years at NAS Jacksonville. I was assigned to VP-5 Mad Foxes who were So Gun-Ho we earned the Battle (X2)"E" all the time I was there. Like an Idiot I left the Navy. I should have stayed for at least another four years! I still regret this! It was an Honor to serve Our Country and The United States Navy! 08/07/2013 @ 19:32 [ref: 55499] |

robert mcguffin North royalton, Ohio | I flew corsair August, sept. and oct. 1944 and the traffic pattern was unbelievable. There was accidents every day. Lost one of our eight in our group. The corsairs were Brewster built and no electric start and all bird cages. Lucky to survive that training. Have some early patches
