 VAQ-136 Shipmates
LeCOMPTE, CDR Malcolm A. Retired malecompte@aol.com "...Originally an EA-6B ECMO, cruised with VAQ-136 on the USS Kitty Hawk in 1974, I affiliated with the reserves as a TAC-NAV assigned to VP-4046 out of NAS Glenview, Illinois, from March 1980 to October 1981. I was attached to VP-90 also at NAS Glenview, Illinois. I did two cruises with the Squadron to the PI and one to NAS Barbers Point, Hawaii, before transferring to VP-92 at NAS South Weymouth, Massachusetts, where I flew with CAC-5 during two cruises to the NAF Lajes, Azores, Portugal and one to NAS Bermuda. I was with VP-92 until the Spring of 1987 when I transferred to VP-93. In VP-93 I flew with CAC-6 until summer 1991, making two cruises to NS Rota, Spain. I retired from the Naval War College Reserve Support Unit in October 1998..." [22MAY2010]
SANBORN, AT3 Pete psanborn2@earthlink.net "...Hello fellow VP'ers. One of the BEST times in my life was serving with the great guys in VP-19 from 1968 to 1971. I made the NAS Adak, Alaska and NAS Iwakuni, Japan deployments flying radios (AT-3) in crews 12 and 4. I also participated in Operation Milrow in Alaska (with Crew 12) and made the Vietnam detachment out of NAS Iwakuni, Japan (10 days in NAF Cam Ranh Bay, Vietnam). After I separated from the Navy in 1971, I reenlisted in 1972 and ended up as a plank owner in an EA-6B squadron, VAQ-136. When the squadron deployed aboard the Kitty Hawk I went to AIMD in NAS Cubi Point, Philippines and ended up as the night shift supervisor. I have already made contact with several former Shipmates and look forward to renewing contact with others from Big Red. Good times, great guys, great squadron. Let me hear from you..." [24MAR2004]
