| Chuck Provow Clearfield, UT | I was an AME with the "Q" from Oct 70-72 was at Atsugi, Det Bravo (mostly) and Guam (yuck) The P-3's were the best planes we had. I enjoyed working on the Whales though. The guys were all great. What ever happened to Barney (the bat)? 05/05/2013 @ 11:29 [ref: 67794] |
| David Rothamel Phila, PA | Was CT on the P3 from 1968 until 1970 when I was transferred back to the States. Had some really great times both in Atsugi Japan and Danang RVN with crew 33 led by Cmdr Steele. Became a family and will always remember our missions. Lost touch with my crew mates but have fond memories. 02/09/2013 @ 01:27 [ref: 67563] |

| Dick Williams Hedgesville, WV | Flew with the "Q" for many years in Japan as a "Spook" between 1963-67 and again from 1970-77. Did some time with the Danang det in 66-67. Was AOIC at the spook det in Atsugi the last 4 years. Flew the 121s, P3s and A3s, all great aircraft, but the P3 had the best gear in the end. The "Q" crews were the best, including the "Crab" and his boys. 08/12/2011 @ 05:16 [ref: 46021] |
