| Robert H. Colley (AE-1) Round Rock, TX | I crewed P2V-5F Bu.# 131420 while stationed at Barbers Point, Hawaii in 1958 & 1959. I am wondering what the fate of that aircraft was after I left the service in 1959. The squadron, VP-28 deployed to Japan in 1960 and I feel sure 131420 made that deployment.
I would appreciate anyone with any info to e-mail me.... Thanks, Bob Colley 08/05/2006 @ 10:28 [ref: 13809] |
