Hey Don!

Didn't know you were an "AIRDALE!" Surprised
So am I!

Your not the only one that has a "BIRD-FARM" in the family! Laughing
This is mine:
CVS-38 USS Shangrila (aka. Shitty Shang)
1 Med and 1 WestPac


Pic is from 1970 and I was aboard with VA-172, A4 SkyHawk (Scooter) squadron!

That was a round the world voyage that year.

All together I've got 3 B-farms -> USS Lexington -> USS Shangrila -> and USS Intrepid now a war memorial in NY City.

Huh! Showing our age aren't we! Razz
