Disestablishment of Commander Reserve Patrol Wing
Squadron Logo


This invitation is extended to ALL personnel active duty, FTS/TAR & SelRes who served in any Reserve VP Squadron (VP-60, VP-62, VP-64, VP-65, VP-66, VP-67, VP-68, VP-69, VP-90, VP-91, VP-92, VP-93, VP-94, VP-MAU, VP-SAU/SRU), any Reserve VP Training Command (RATCEN, RESASWTAC, RESASWTAC East/RESASWTAC West) or any Reserve VP Support Unit (TSC units, MOCC units).

On 23 June 2007, following the Change of Command for Capt. Ken Lewko (VP-92,VP-66, CO RATCEN, Wing CSO, etc.) there will be a "celebration" of sorts, to commemorate Commander Reserve Patrol Wing (formerly COMRESPATWINGLANT & COMRESPATWINGPAC) at its Disestablishment. It is thought that this would be the best "Last Chance" for those that have served in the Reserve Force Maritime Patrol Aviation community across the years to get together one last time and remember the long and proud heritage of which each of us is a part.

Plans are underway, with a major question being "how many will attend?" If you plan on attending please send an email response to:

CDR Phillips
samuel.phillips@navy.mil

You should then receive an evite invitation which will provide additional details and costs. You must return the evite with payment in order to ensure access to the event.

Date: 23 June 2007
Place: NAS Willow Grove, Pennsylvania
Time: TBA

Note NOTICE: "...Hi fellow Snakes. Went to check out what is left of Hangar One in Glenzoo! My kids found me in tears to find VR-51 is a Von Maur clothing store and T-Line was the putting green for a Dick's Sporting Goods store. There is no access to the tower or to where LCDR Peplow's office was (spent a few times there getting an ear full)! Two Police Officers were using the roof for an outlook and asked if I could come up...no joy! The beautiful facade with the Naval Aviator Wings is still there...but fellow Snakes, no plaque for VP-60! (My husband Rick's MACG-48 was but not us)! Brought back a flood of memories! And a NAS Glenview, Illinois Salute to you from Stacey Parker (AT2) many moons ago...Stacey L. Parker slparker4@comcast.net..." [23SEP2005]
