CONNELL, CDR Phil Retired
Retired from the Navy, on 20, in 1975 when BUPERS tried to send me to Iceland. Been there, done that! Joined VP-11 right out of flight training. Was blessed with a caring PPC on HB/LE-5 and made PPC in about 10 months. Hit the NAS Brunswick, Maine GCA unit with LE-6, 140157, in December 1958. Lost the 12 man life raft out of the port wing on a dark and stormy night in 1959. Scary! Left VP-11 in June of 1960. Spent two years in VP-21 (1966-4/1966). Gone were the days of LT(jg) PPCs. As a fresh caught LCDR, I was the 15th junior LCDR in the squadron. Proud of my VP service!

McLENDON, ADRC Charles R. Retired
I joined the Navy in 1951, boot camp at NAS North Island, San Diego, California, from there to schools at NAS Memphis, Tennessee and NAS Jacksonville, Florida before being assigned to FASRON-9 at NAS Cecil Field, Jacksonville, Florida. I joined VP-5 at NAS Jacksonville, Florida in late 1954 or early 1955. While in VP-5, I became a plane captain trained by AD1 Goss who also pushed me to qualify for CAC wings. I was AD3 at the time. From there I went to NAS Kingsville, Texas and from there to VP-23 at NAS Brunswick, Maine. I took my discharge in 1961 at NAS Brunswick, Maine and traveled to Birmingham where I re-enlisted and joined VP-5 again. I was in VP-5 in NS Rota, Spain on split deployment when we lost crew 3 in Iceland in 1962 (SEE: In Memorial for lost friends...12JAN62). From there I went to NAS Key West, Florida for shore duty and then back to NAS Jacksonville, Florida and VP-7 and I think that was 1966. I left VP-7 in 1969 and went back to NAS Key West, Florida on CAG 50 staff. When the CAG was scheduled to deploy I had a retirement date so I was transferred to VX-1 in NAS Key West, Florida where I retired as ADRC in 1971. The best years of my life were those in the VPNavy.

I served with VT-21 (1965-1968) after attending AMS "A" School at NAS Memphis, Tennessee. I was a member of the check crew and worked different shifts. Spent summers as a lifeguard at the O-pool.

BAILEY, Paul M.
I served aboard NAF Lajes, Azores, Portugal (1978-1981) as an Avionics Technician. I worked as an I-level tech on various systems including AN/APN153/187 Doppler, APN141 radar altimeter, ASH20 In flight recorder, APN70 Loran and the APS80 Search Radar. I flew a few anti-sub missions with P-3 squadrons which where stationed there on a rotational basis. This was much fun especially since we were actively tracking combloc submarines and surface vessels. My skipper was CAPT. Leo V. Rabuck who flew a Grumman C1. I enjoyed watching that piston banger crank up, spewing large clouds of purple smoke but it was even better when he sought out volunteer crew members to maintain his flight hours. I loved going up in that beast! I was also a member of the Security Police augmentee force. We trained with US Air Force, Army, Portuguese Army and Air Force personnel. I got to be a crack shot with the M16, earning both an expert rifle and an expert pistol ribbon. I made many friends with the locals since I spoke fair to middlin Portuguese and I made friends with other servicemen that I still maintain today. On my off duty, I explored many of the volcanic caves and hunted rabbits, which were numerous. In all, I had a good experience on "the Rock".

VP-42 - December 26th, 1962
My first husband, PO2 Terrence Eugene Smith, a great man, husband and father. Terry is sadly missed. He was lost along with 12 other crew members with VP-42 on December 26th, 1962 (SEE: In Memorial for lost friends...December 25th, 1962). The pilot was LT David K. Lukefahr and co-pilot was Richard Allen Larson of Coronado, CA. He was actually lost the night of 25th/morning of 26th. Terry, I and our 14 month old daughter, Rima lived in San Diego (not on the base as she formerly thought). The Navy searched for 5 days and came up with very little debris and even less information was released to the families. I would like to know what happened - now that almost 50 years have passed.

VP-17 - January 11th, 1963
I was a Navy Storekeeper stationed in NAS Kodiak, Alaska the night of this crash (SEE: In memory of lost friends...7 Die In Kodiak Plane Crash January 11th, 1963.). I recall it was a rainy overcast evening . It was a six month event when Navy P2V would deploy from the Seattle area. It was dark that evening when the crash occured, maybe around 6:00 PM. I was in charge of the Foul Gear supply and was asked to supply a rescue team with gear. I loaded the commisary (21/2 Stake truck) with supplies and traveled as close as I could to the crash site. I beleive several airman had lost their lifes in this crash...It was not a good evening. God Rest their souls.
