I remember this lineup very well. I was an AT2 (Aviation Electronics Technician) in the AEWBARRONPAC as a 20 year old in 1960 and was stationed at both Barbers Point Naval Air Station in Hawaii and at Midway Island.

Rich Young died in Volcan, Panama Aug 2016. I was stationed with him at AEW.

I Turned up that bird while on Midway

Flew as a flight tech (in-flight electronic repair) on that and many other planes assigned to AEWBARRONPAC during 1963-1964 time frame. Midway deployment with high anticipation of return to BP. Great picture and great memories!

Served as a radar repair technician (AT2) and worked on the equipment in this plane and others from 1959 to 1961 while a part of the AEWBARRONPAC at both Barbers Point Naval Station, Hawaii and Midway Island. Lots of memories seeing these pictures.
