SAYLOR, Dennis L. dlsaylo@attglobal.net "...I served with VP-11 from January 1955 to November 1956. I flew with Crew 5 (HB5 P2V-5 BUNO: 131472) and Crew 1 (HB1 P2V-7 140430). I flew with registered Shipmates DeLuca and Goodale. Our PC during that time was CDR Hodges (XO in 1955 and CO in 1956). I made two Malta deployments, one Londonderry, one Springboard, and and various minor deployments. I was happy in VP-11 and would have stayed to the end of my enlistment, but the Navy had other plans and shipped me off to NAS Pensacola, Florida where I was scheduled for a training squadron of beat-up SNB'S. One night at the club while crying in my beer, I learned of an opening with the Blue Angels,and scheduled an interview the next morning. I was accepted and my orders were changed, but I did not endear myself to the base personnel officer. I spent 1957 with the Blue Angels, reenlisted in late 1957 and went to AE(B) school at NATTC NAS Jacksonville, FloridaA. After (B) school I requested VP duty, but was sent to VW-12 (newly formed AEW squadron at NAS Barbers Point, Hawaii and NAS Midway Island). VW-12 was integrated into AEWBarRonPac (Airborne Early Warning Barrier Squadron Pacific), which became the largest aviation squadron in the Navy. I am a Plank Owner of AEWBarRonPac and a member of the Willie Victor Roster..." [11JUL2003]

SAYRE, Edwin D. pbmpilot@home.com "...I was in VP-44 in NAS Coco Solo, Panama, Canal Zone from July 1947 to October 1949. At that time we flew PBM Martin Mariners. We were there in Panama with VP-40 which also flew PBM aircraft and VP-7 which had P2V aircraft. VP-44 and VP-40 shared airsea rescue duty in NAS Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. We were there three months and then switched for three months. We all had a great time in VP-44 in Panama. We worked from 7:30AM to 1:30PM and relaxed the rest of the day. We had very nice quarters and a beautiful O Club. Our wives had very good shopping at the Ship Service and the Canal Zone stores. We did Seaplane Tender operations with the tender based in Panama, but I can't remember the name of it. I have some good pictures of the PBMs in Panama if you want them..." [07NOV2000]
