I was flying an A-4B from VF-154 off the USS Coral Sea. Commander Ross Terry
was flying as my Radar Intercept Officer. We were shot down and captured
near Phu Ly, North Vietnam on 9 October 1966. The internment was typical,
with torture, solitary, etc. We were not injured prior to capture. We were

    I remember Shagnsaty's Binky's and the Zanzibar.  Hard to believe that its been about 36 years ago since I was there. Standing Fire Watch, Hanging out at the Aurora Mall and going to class all sleepy eyed.  Good times..

    Looks like I am the Oldest.  I attended AFAITC in 1966 August thru November.  From there I went to VFP-63 (Light Photographic Squadron) With deployment on the Oriskany and Coral Sea to Vietnam.
