  • Well Tim it sure does seem as though we've stepped on some of the same ground/seas as each other. I was only with VS-30 for a year, and Yes I was ecstatic to get to be on the Enterprise, I am after all a big Star Trek fan. I was there in 1995-1996. The year I was there, was the last year that the Navy had A6 Intruders, and onboard with us was the last squadron VA-75 the Sunday Punchers. It was there decomm cruise. It was very sad for me since I came to the Fleet as an Attack person with VA-85, I hated those A6's then, but man I miss them.
  • Hi Glenn, Interesting, I did not know VS-30 Deployed onboard U.S.S Enterprise.

    I was with VS-30 from '87-90 when we deployed with U.S.S. Saratoga and one tour with U.S.S. Independence (Around the Horn of South America from Virginia to San Diego).
  • I was stationed there with VS-30 the Diamondbacks. When I was with VA-85 the Black Falcons aboard the USS America, VS-22 the Checkmates were our S-3 squadron there onboard there. VS-30 deployed onboard BIG "E" when I was with them.

VS-31 NAS Cecil Fld.

Seems a lifetime ago. Barracks, chow hall, hangar on the flight line. Hotter than blue blazes in summer. Dropping torps south of Fort Jefferson, stopping at NAS Key West for fuel. Watching low level fuel light come on everytime pilot hit the brakes landing at Cecil. Blown tires, etc... I remember it all.
