Can't remember where I found these photos. Must be old age creeping up on me. The camoflage B-17 is a great photo and model to build. Anyone where and when the photo was taken.
These pictures are from Ed Gumbko's personal collection.
Ed is sitting on the wing of his RF-84F. Next to him is Ed Kelow who has passed away a few years ago. |
Around 1975 VP93 was reactivated by the US Navy as a reserve squadron. The unit was only activated for 20yrs. Bill Clinton de-activated the major of these high skill naval squadrons and personal. As Clinton said the cold war was over. What people didn't the unit still tracked soviet submarines, but all the drug runner out of South American. I served with VP-93 as AE/FE on the P-3A. Sadly a lot of my squadrons of my era have past. This series of photos are for my good friends and Squadron mate.
I was the FE in the chase P3 taking the photos. |
