I was looking for some old pictures today and found my album of pictures taken on the USS Midway (CVA-41) in 1971. So I scanned some of them I took of flight operations in the Gulf of Tonkin. And, here they are. The first one is of me, AMH1 Roberts, in 1971.

I served 31 years in the U.S. Navy starting in Jan 1957 and ending in Mar 1988. I later served another 10 years supporting the U.S. Navy as an aircraft mechanic employed by the Naval Aviation Depot at Jacksonville, FL from 1992 to 2002. Then we went full-time RVing.
