Awesome job, fanstatic people... served from 84-90... had my first flight on the old C-1 then we tranistioned to the C-2's.

| Yuri G. Rivera Santa Barbara, CA | I flew for about 35-40 minutes from SBA to the USS Ronald Reagan CVN-76 in this aircraft as a visitor/reporter. It was a incredible soft landing. A wonderful experience for a civilian that loves aircrafts. Best Regards 02/25/2008 @ 19:48 [ref: 19780] |
| John Defevers Oklahoma City, OK | Flew em in VRC-50 (79-83) and later on with the help of Kurt Dismukes and Lt. Dave Church, we developed a training program and transitioned VRC-40 (86-90) from the C-1's to C-2's. Only catch was, "new C-2's expected next week". Yep they were new alright, they were 50's old C-2's transfered to 40, Received the reprocured C-2's a year or so later. Luckly Kurt and I had the old gouge for all the C-2's 50 had, and we had flown for years. Still in aviation with the justice dept, but i think of the cod days quite often and remember them as one of the best times in my life. 02/05/2008 @ 08:35 [ref: 19560] |

| Adam Hodge Marietta, GA | For you ex VR-24 guys, Do you have a spare squadron patch or if you had one, Decomm patch? I've always loved the VR-24 design and looking for either. Would gladly shoot a check for one if you can help me out.
Hope to be in the fleet some day, Fly Navy! 10/01/2007 @ 22:25 [ref: 18077] |
