Hi John
This is a great thread. I am a retired ATC mainly with A-6E's and RH-53D's. I know an old salt from the early whales who was a pilot. He retired as a Captain and spent alot of time at Sanford. His name is Don Munday, do you know him?
Yep, I remember him!!! I was in VAH-11 from 1958 to 1962 when I was transferred to VAH-123 at Whidbey as an Instructor B/N.. I actually spent twelve years flying in A3s..
Here is a shot of my graduating B/N class taken in 1961 in VAH-3 at Sanford. We were one of the few all enlisted B/N classes and we were all Aviation Machinist Mates (AD) I am the White Hat on the left.. The other three are gone. Two of them were shot down in RA3Bs over North Vietnam and the other died while in VAH-7 in an A3J in South Florida. They had a complete hydralic failure, and he did not survive the ejection. So I am the only survivor and the only one who stayed in the A3s.
