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.
