| I am so Glad to find this site! I've been trying to find some source of info for old shipmates from VP-6. I also was a witness to the downing of PC-6 in dec of 71 ! My roommate was the AO on that flight ! |
| I was reading the Sea Stories and found out that 85% of my shipmates were effected by the nukes tested at Johnson Island...I was on the ground there and thank God I was not effected by any radiation fallout. My heart goes out to my shipmates that were effected and hope and pray they make it ok and my heartfelt condolences to the ones that did not make it.I have many fond memories of the guys in vp-6. |
| I was known as sam and was an ak, Ports Barbers Point, Iweakuni, Naha Okinawa, Johnsons Island, Da Nang Viet Nam... Any old timers out there |
| Looking to see if anyone remembers my father, Charles M. Kaetzel. He was on "crew 2" during the Korean war. I still have is shoulder patch that says "crew 2". It has a pictire of a mole-like animal wearing a red cap and a black camera that has 2 blue wings attached to the camera. I have his old 8mm movies of Guam, Tawian, and other places. <br>I am very interested in finding anyone who might remember him and would be willing to make copys of the videos or the shoulder patch.<br>Dad died in August, 1978 while living in Cincinnati, Ohio.<br><br>My telephone is 716-720-5319.<br><br>Many thanks. |
| Checked into VP-6 as an AWAN in '91. Upon stamping my orders we proceeded to "The Beach House". Had some GREAT times out there.<br><br>I'm still in Hawaii in VP-47, a little older & a little wiser. VP-6 was the BEST squadron! I still have the sign that hung over the AW Shop door. At a New Years Party (ringing in 2008) in Iraq there were some Chiefs hanging around when we realized that 4 of us, 17 years earlier were all in VP-6. My how things change. Who'd know VP was destined for the desert?<br><br>Looking at this list of people is a walk down memory lane! Great job on this site guys!<br><br>Gary Phillips<br>AWC VP-47 |
