Ken Dunton  Coconut Creek, FL	I was with VQ-3 from '88-'95. I was in Barbers point and Tinker. Remember the Coastie Club. I flew two missions on the C-130 and I am a plankowner on the E6-A Mercury. I was trained by Steve Malavolti and had six Great Years and over 1500 hours in the tube with 250,000 volts going over my head. I Loved my squadron and the great aviators I flew with. The Re-enlistment bonuses wern't bad either. To all Happy Veterans Day and my you all be remebered as great aviators. 11/11/2010 @ 09:07 [ref: 33275]
Duane  Huntsville, AL	E-mail address is greydog65@bellsouth.net Thanks! 04/22/2009 @ 21:59 [ref: 24116]
Duane  Huntsville, AL	I was in VQ-4 from 88-92 and worked on both the EC-130Q and the E-6A TACAMO aircraft. I attended school for the E-6A in Huntsville in the fall of 1990. I just moved to Huntsville and am trying to remember where the school building was. I just remember it being out in the middle of nowhere. This place has grown since I was last here so it's probably in the middle of town somwhere now. If anyone knows or remembers please shoot me an e-mail. 04/22/2009 @ 21:57 [ref: 24115]
annonKY  , KY	I was with VQ-4 from MAR 90 - MAR 93 and then with VQ-3 until 1994, we flew both EC130-Q and the E6-A. We received our first E6-A in JAN 91 and most everyone in TACAMO remembers "BUCK" and what happened RIP love goes out to his family wherever they may be GOD bless. 10/05/2007 @ 17:43 [ref: 18114]

annom  , OK	The aircraft has only been in active dut since 1989. NOT 1962. Prior to 1989, the EC-130G/Q was utilzed. I know, I flew them. 10/06/2006 @ 04:49 [ref: 14388]
