Squadrons that deployed to NAS Adak, Alaska at that time were VP-47 and I beleive VP-17. Left NAS Adak, Alaska and went to AD school in TN. Received orders to VP-31 and was stationed there from 81-84 working in the mech shop, until an injury forced me to leave the Navy earlier than I had planned.

MICHAELS, AL3 Maurice (Bud) shirleybudvp7@aol.com "...I served with VP-7 1951 - 1954. Our crew was crew 11 out of NAS Iwakuni, Japan in 1953. Our pilot was LT(jg) Volmer, Plane Captain was Moore, 2nd Mech was Bill Scherbon (who I am still in contact with), 1st Radioman was Rosalis and I was the 2nd Radioman. I think our crew flew the last mission of the Korean war on 27 July 1953. I would love to contact any squadron mates from that period of time. In those days most of us went to NAS Millington, Tennessee for A and B school. Three weeks ago I visited Millington with my wife who I met while going to A and B schools there, and my son and daughter in law. The base is not Navy any more. It was closed about half dozen years ago I was told. The water tower that used to have the rotating green lights is still there. The small hanger that we took some classes in is still there. At that time, 1950, it housed an Avenger and a few fighters, I thank Hellcats. They were used to show us how to take the radios out and to safety wire them in. The hanger now is being used for a great project. Volunteers have disassembled the famous Memphis Bell B-17 flying fortress and are restoring it. They are doing a beautiful job. They are giving very interesting tours of all aspects of their work and B-17 air craft. They are trying to raise money to finish their project. After seeing their good work it would have been hard not to drop money in the bottle they were using to make the collection. The base hospital is now part of the Shelby county Jail system. My daughter was born in that base hospital in 1953 while we, VP-7, were in Japan at the end of the Korean War. I took my first plane ride while there in 1950. The plane was a PBY-5A Catalina. My buddy, Andy Mihans and I did not have enough money to go to town one Sunday and we took a walk around the base. Some reservist were were running the engine on the Catalina. We walked up and asked for a ride, a ride I will never forget, even after flying in P2V for 3 years..." [E-Mail/BIO Updated 09JUL2005 | 27FEB2002]

From 1957 to 1958, he flew A3 aircraft while assigned to Heavy Attack Squadron Two deployed aboard the USS BON HOMME RICHARD and USS TICONDEROGA; and he was a research project pilot with Air Development Squadron Five until 1959. His assignment from 1964 to 1965 was as Chief, Project Management Division of the Navy Field Office for Manned Orbiting Laboratory. He has accumulated 5,000 hours flight time--2,000 hours in jets.

Shepard, spacecraft commander, and Stuart A. Roosa, command module pilot. Maneuvering their lunar module, "Antares," to a landing in the hilly upland Fra Mauro region of the moon, Shepard and Mitchell subsequently deployed and activated various scientific equipment and experiments and collected almost 100 pounds of lunar samples for return to Earth. Other Apollo 14 achievements include: first use of Mobile Equipment Transporter (MET); largest payload placed in lunar orbit; longest distance traversed on the lunar surface; largest payload returned from the lunar surface; longest lunar surface stay time (33 hours); longest lunar surface EVA (9 hours and 17 minutes); first use of shortened lunar orbit rendezvous techniques; first use of color TV with new vidicon tube on lunar surface; and first extensive orbital science period conducted during CSM solo operations. In completing his first space flight, Mitchell logged a total of 216 hours and 42 minutes. He was subsequently designated to serve as backup lunar module pilot for Apollo 16.

MITTS, Denny Earl dennyemitts@yahoo.com "...I served with VT-2 NAS Whiting Field, Milton, Florida fron October 1961 to October 1963. I was a plane captain on the west line, assisting in preflight inspections, refueling, etc. I've always wanted a picture of one of the T-28's from the west line (like 308 or 400). Be nice if there was a way I could get a nice one. In October 1963 I was transfered to VP-24 NAS Norfolk, Virginia. I worked mainly in maintenance control, taking care of aircraft logs, sending out work orders to the respective shops, airframes, avionics, electric shop, etc. When the work (that had downed the aircraft) was done and the paperwork was returned to me, I was then able to place the aircraft in the up position on the ready board (green tag). The P2V-7 Neptune was a beautiful aircraft. On ocasions I was able to fly as part of the flight crew, usually as bow observer. Never could get the camera to work fast enough on a pass though. What a ride it was, sitting in the nose, cuttin through the clouds. I guess one of the things I was proud of was we were the only squadron that still had a woman in the emblem, the Bat Laddie. Sharp. While I was there, we flew coal road out of Island, Norway. I flew with the crew of LR-6. LCDR Fromer was a great pilot. I served with VP-24 until March 1965, when my inlistment was up for active duty. I've always regreted not shipping over. The P2V-7 Neptune was one of the greatist planes ever.
