VAW-113 information
Posted on August 21, 2009 by admin
A Shipmate is looking for information from the Vietnam war era. Please leave a comment if you know anyone from the VAW-113 air crew that prevented further blue on blue attack in the Gulf of Tonkin.
VAW-113 Dec 67-Oct 70:
Aboard USS Constellation May 68 to Jan 69 and Aug 69 to May 70. I also have the two cruise books.
We played “games” to get a Mig kill! Didn’t happen until later cruises. I joined VAW-113 as they returned from their first cruise with the E-2A. What can I help you with?
VAW-113 Plank Owner. board Connie 67, 68, 69 and looking for other squadron shipmates. Don’t have any of the cruise books. Had comical experience post discharge. Unsuspectingly, one day after returning home in Coronado from work at my new civilian job, my room mate reported that SP had visited to haul me in for court martial because I had not shown up for inspection to receive Naval Achievement medal with Combat V. Curious about any one else’s entertaining tales.
Looking for someone to confirm my flights on “Greyhound”, COD from Coral Sea into Danang, Feb. 1965, May 1965, then into Danang, top off tanks and on to Subic on July 04, 1965 to await flight to CONUS for discharge. (best 4th. of July of my life!) Thanks in advance for your help, Bob Baker
