  • Crossed the Article Circle while aboard the USS Independence CVA-62 in Sept. 1971. My certificate after over 40 years is somewhat faded, but still looks good.
  • I crossed the Artic Circle aboard a air force AWAC plane while stationed in Iceland. I was a RMC at the time.

  • Ok, finally found my paper from Bluenose.  I crossed the Artic Circle on 10 Oct 1968, on the USS Yorktown CVS 10 @ 07-31W.  That's the north Atlantic, don't remember the exercise we were on, but do remember we had some long range Russian aircraft flying overhead.  Even have some pics of them.  Think they were TU-95s. scan0001.jpg
