City, State: Baltimore MD Comments: Hey GUYS, This is Gene Walsh served under Capt Hatch in Naples back in the day when we had a football team THE CAPO FLYERS do you remember those days when we played Airforce, USS Littlerock and the Marines. I was a C1A Plane Captain. Hey shout out to John Fisher who trained me. I was there in 1975-1977 when I got out we had just moved to Sigonella, Remember when the Kennedy hit the Belnap and had to help out those poor guys who got hurt or even worse we took off the bodies of our fallen brothers who got killed on that mishap. Hey not to brag but do you remember that homerun I hit against the officers to win that softball game...now that was a great memory. Anyone who was in naples back in 75-77 give me a holler . This is avaition 2nd class machinistmate Gene Walsh
City, State: Carterville, IL Comments: I remember one night there was a detachment of Marines using the trailers we used when we first moved to Sig that were along side of our hanger. The generator was running and was spitting sparks out of the exhaust. As the evening progressed, I noticed an orange glow along the fence next to the paint locker. The sparks coming from the generator had started a fire in the grass which in turn started the fence burning. Not only was the paint locker just on the other side, but the fuel sample bottles were located on the side of the fence with the fire. What was funny is that the fire department could not find the fire. They thought we had an aircraft on fire and was driving around the line looking for a burning plane. Someone from the line shack had to chase them down and show them where the fire was located. By the time they got there, we had the fire out.
City, State: Idalou Texas Comments: I was in VR-24 in 91 and 92. I was a loadmaster and airframer. David Collins and I came over to Sig the same day. Looking forward to see other fellow COD crew
City, State: Tucson, Az. Comments: I guess we sometimes overlook things when we get old. I was in VR-24 from 76-79. I originally posted it as 77-79. I remember you Rocky. Last time I saw you was in Alameda. After I left Sig I went to VRC-30 and used to fly out of North Island. In and out of Alameda a lot. Seems to me you were working on C9's there weren't you? Kind of foggy on that. You might not remember me much from Sig. I was AC on T39's and worked in the shack for Senior Chief Harding. Let's see if any of these names ring a bell for any of you all who were there during that time. Dave Peck, Kenny Bess, Dave Gossett, Jay Galinos, Jeff Baker, David Hale, Chuck Kenyon, Carlos Cardoza, Mike Knowlton, Tony Sanfelippe, Debbie Barnes (Gossett), CJ Vanvleet, Jim Ikard, Chip Shafer, lot's more but my brain just went on squawking standby. Those were the days huh?
