City, State: Charlotte, NC Comments: I just found this web site after doing some reminiscing with another pilot about our military days. I have been out of touch for so long it was nice to remember the good times in VR-24 in the early 80's.
City, State: worton, MD Comments: Everytime I come back to this web site I get a good feeling. I just wanted to update my email address in case someone might give a rats a_ _. I can't beleive it has been 41 years since first I met so many great freinds in VR-24 in old Port Lautey. Then to have the good luck to go back and serve in the Naples Det in '61. There is going be be a continuation of our reunions and I sure hope the be renewing old aquaintances soon. Dick Prather - Many thanks for keeping the web site alive and in such fine shape.

City, State: Dayton,Ohio Comments: How time flies by. It seems like yesterday that I was changing a engine on a Greyhound. What vr-24 did back in the 70's and 80's made history. As did those that came before and after us. A group of men and women that worked together to get a job done. How did we do it? It was by far the best time of my life. And a time I will never forget. The memories will always grace me but never haunt me. Thank-you all for the best of times.

I was an AE2 and was stationed in sunny Sig from Dec. 86 thru Mar.90.I worked with Mitch Cheraso, Steve Thompson, Keith Lester, John Christmas, Cheif Sales, and so many others. I have many fond memories of my time in Sigonella. I am currently working for Gulfstream Aerospace as a Final Line Inspector. My wife and I have two daughters, 1 14 yrs. old and 1 10 months old. Would love to hear from some of the guys and gals who remember me. Dennis Jacobi Pooler, Georgia
City, State: Kings Park N.Y. Comments:
City, State: Orlando, Fl. Comments: I was in VR-24 in 1962-64 when it was at Port Lyautey and when it relocated to Rota, Spain. In those days we had a couple of R4-Q's C-119) soon retired, R5-D's (C-54) and C-130's. I came to the squadron from HS-7 when it was based at NAS Norfolk. When everyone's time was up we all split and there was no internet or any other easy way to keep in touch so I haven't seen or heard from any of my old squadron mates since that time. I only remember 3 names now: Jerry Marino (Detroit), John Rowe and Jerry Byars. |
