Having just finished up a lengthy project on "Marine Corps PBJ Accidents and Incidents" which I donated to the History Division at Quantico, I am off on another Marine Research Project that I thought some of you might be able to help me with!
I am researching the early years of Aviation a MCAS Quantico when Props and Rotors were king. Would of any of you Marines have photos or stories to tell about your time at Quantico? Any members of AES-12,SOES,BAD-1 or any of the other early Squadrons? Photos are especially desired? Any aviators out there work on the JRB-2,SBC-4,RD-2,RdD3,R4D,SNJ,F7F,R8D,C-117,OE-1,OY's or other prop jobs or Helocopters?
I started out as a Powerplant mechanic and plane Captain on T-28B and C models at SOES Quantico in 74-75 and then went to HMX-1 greenside as a CH-46E Crew Chief and mechanic.Ended up my time working on CH-46D's at Santa Anna/El Toro. Any help is appreciated and I always share my research with the History Division so our Marine Aviation History is preserved for future generations. Semper fi!
