Orion32,
I was in the P-3 community from 1969 until I got out of the Navy in '74. Got my start
as an ASCAT team member in the TSC on beautiful Adak. Did a tour with VP-30
(The Pro's) where we were frequent visitors at Keflavik, Bermuda, Lajes, Rota, and
Sigonella. I've got time in A's, B's, and B/D's as well as Charlies. I ended up
in VP-10 (Red Lancers) as CAC-3's FltComm/IFT. Deployed to Bermuda, Rota,
and Lajes. Spent time on my last deployment tweaking Qadaffi's nose by repeatedly
crossing his "line of death" in the Gulf of Sidra. Got nearly 2500 hours in that sweet bird

BTW I've got Hasagawa's 1/72 Charlie still unbuilt
