| Gary Sheldon , MN | Served with VMO-1 1960-62. This aricraft performed well for which it was designed. Bisides aerial spotting, message drops and message pick-ups off Marine's rifles was a unique way to communicate with the artillary folks without radios. I along with Maj Charlie Bogg carrier qualified on the USS Boxer in 1960 while deployed to Vieques. We had several days floating around in the Carribbean when we were cleared for flight ops. We each did three T&Gs and three full stops. Has anyone else done this? Gary Sheldon, Capt. ret. 03/06/2013 @ 05:25 [ref: 67644] |
