    Looking to see some of my old friends from 81-85, served in three A-6 Squandrons from out of NAS Oceana. Can't wait for the reunion in Sept.

    Leonard Hittle - Remember the Malta Hilton?? Some wonderful wine there!! I think it was me, you, Danny, and Francis Bakula. Not too sure. A long time ago.

    Sorry to hear about Randy's passing. I remember him in VA-85. Though I didn't know him well, its always sad to hear about a passing shipmate.

  • Al Lieberman December 8, 2013 at 2:26pm

    With sadness, I want to pass along the death of a former friend and shipmate, Randy L. Sevitz.  See more at: http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/limaohio/obituary.aspx?pid=167741652

    Randy served in VA-85 during the period from '77 to '80. Randy was a plane captain who was always willing to help others without being asked, had a great sense of humor and was always ready and willing to set someone up in a joking manner on fellow shipmates.  3439426938?profile=original

    Hey all. I was in VA-85 from 1984-1988. Did both of the cruises on the Sara.

2017 VA85 Reunion

Time flies but unfortunately A-6's no longer do.  Nevertheless, keep the camaraderie going!  For those who are wanting or plan to attend the next reunion, it will take place October 5th thru 8th in Charleston, SC.  To get updates regarding the reunion, you need to be added to the reunion roster.  Send an email indicating your interest to:  va85reunion@gmail.comWe had a great time during our last reunion in 2014.  Lets keep it going.  Hope to see everyone there.Any suggestions?

Locating an old shipmate.

Does anyone recall a tall AT in the early 80's? His name was Steve, but I can't recall his last name.Also, I'm trying to locate an AE, Joey Martinez, if anyone knows how to contact him. He was in VA85 in the late 70's- early 80's.Any help would be much appreciated.
