City, State: CORONADO, CA Comments: A VR-24 reunion in Las Vegas, Okay that sounds good to me. I was in 24 from 88-92 and still to this day and squadrons later have had no finer time than i had there.
City, State: Keller (DFW), TX Homepage URL: http://panamalou.com Comments: I remember VR-24 from my first deployment with VP-16 from JAX (NIP), FL winter of '67-'68. One of the VRC-24 members Steve Crawford who flew the COD, C-1s, gave me the URL on the site so I "surfed in". One of the VR-24 LCDR had been my flight leader at VT-2 Whiting Field summer of '66, saw him at Rota but can't remember his name?

I knew him when I was stationed at NAS Sigonella Sicily in 1983 and remember him as being a nice guy as well as a whole lot of fun to be around. My sincere condolences go out to his family and VR-24 friends, I know he is missed.

City, State: Baltimore,M.D. 21237 Comments: Hi from Gene Walsh I was in VR-24 just before they moved to Sigonella , I was a C1a Palne Captain and hung out with John Fischer (who I cant get a hold of) anyway I just wanted to see if anyone else was out there, my exact dates were 1974-1976 , I played football for the Capo Flyers , I can remember I guy named Ron Peoples who was a pretty good running back . I remember that great gym we had, a converted quanset hut with a basketball hoop and a small universal gym, I used to take Karate lesson's in there from a Second class that was in the next hangar over. Captain Hatch was there when I first arrived, I used to have a Norton Comando Motorcycle and lived over by the hospital and when I drove to work I would drive by the Bay of Naples and see one of our Aircraft Carrier's out there and that would alway's give me a rush.Had some good time's there and I miss all you guy's , so if you were there at that time just give me a holler, ADR2-Gene Walsh at gwalsh3rd@yahoo.com
City, State: San Antonio, TX Comments: Served with VR-24 from Jul 79 to Jul 81. Worked in Personnel and as Career Counselor. My tour got cut short at VR because I had to move over to PSD when the PSD's were established. Lived at Rasol Housing, great view from back yard. BBQ'd the heck out of chicken just down from the restaurant-calamary at the restaurant was great. Couldn't get enought of Fibber McGee and Molly on the radio. Great Squadron, Great Shipmates. Great Co's and Xo's. Great Memories, Made Chief while at VR-24. I droved a Chinco Chento (Fiat 500). Brutal. Loved the food. Gas coupons were great. Have enjoyed going over the guest book. |
