Recently, I have begun using Picasa from Google to put pictures on the web. Access to my albums on that service is available from this link.

Nolan also maintains a public gallery.

 One key to success is knowing what has worked elsewhere.

VA 216 WestPac '65-'66 Cruise

 We had a great reunion in Richmond with a celebration at the Museum.

Here is our leader with the crew that recreated the "piece of resistance" of the event!

VA 216 WestPac '64-'65 Cruise
     
An old friend sent this great video of a carrier landing at night, what we called a "night trap"!  It brought back a lot of memories watching it. The image on the left is a picture of one of my squadron aircraft, number NP 693, with the unit insignia painted on it, Attack Squadron 216, known as VA-216, the "Black Diamonds". I spent two years with this unit and made two cruises to the Pacific, serving in and around Vietnam.

I don't know what kind of aircraft is involved in this video, but it appears to be shot from a "right seat" in the plane. It all happens pretty fast, but if you pause the show at 42 seconds, you can get a good view of what we were looking for as we approached the ship. On the left, if you look carefully, you can see the "meatball" in the middle of the horizontal line of lights that told us that we were on the right glide-slope for a good landing.

The video will play with Windows Media Player.

Shatterings

"The sound of someone separating is much the same as glass breaking.  In both cases the sudden snap and pull, the tension of the elements at play, make for a pulling in multiple directions..."
