Douglas G Foster said… - Hi Bill,
Being as salty as you are, do you know any aviation folks from VA-27 or VA-97 from 1969 to 1970? I am researching an accident where a sailor was sucked into the intake of an A-7 jet while waiting to launch. Have not found any mention while researching VA-27 or 97. I am checking with VSO's also. Am hoping another set of eyes and ears might help. Thank you for the welcome and any assistance. Doug Foster, AO3.

- Thank you for giving me the chance to join such a great group
people. I try to collect as much of Navy items and stories
that I can. I enjoy working with models of all kinds of ships.
I would love to get a model of the U.S.S. Holland (AS-32), if
was possible. That was a good duty statiion. Shipmatew
