Memories For This Unit
Best Friends John Thomas Vierra, Dave Shaw	Worst Moment During flight ops and recovering planes, being struck by corsair which was supposed to be low on fuel, landed and drifted into catwalk where I was fly/one talker.I nearly lost my right leg by broken strut.

Other Memories There were many, but we really enjoyed when we had our Ship picnic on an Island in Japan Base ball with few rules.
