Any further info on any of these encounters, or others, first hand or not, would be helpful.

Comments: You might remember yhe Kitchen sink? I was the one had it built and installed on 1000lb water fill bomb. It was finnaly dropped on Pyonyang. I have pictures of Pilots on first Cruise and the Chief Petty Officers and some others. Gave the Princeton Association a Vidio of more than one hour of ops during this period. Worth looking at.

former unit member

Comments: What is the purpose of this site? Are you intending a history of VA-195? What? I am a former member of the squadron and would like to see some kind of a history.

PS: I just forwarded the original message and was routed to your home page. I got into the site in the first place with the inquiry "VA-195." What came up was the entry from another former squadron member. Disregard the questions asked. I can see your intent. New question: Do you know of any definitive history of VA-195?
