Joel Burns
Class of 1969
Navy, 20+ Years
I served with many fine units including VC5 Checkertails, VA95 Green Dragons, VA165 Boomers, VA128 Golden Intruders, VP4 Skinny Dragons, NAS Whidbey Island WA Search and Rescue, NAS Whidbey Island AIMD, NAS Norfolk VA AIMD.
I also participated in working vacations in Vietnam, Philippines, Mayasia, Taiwan, Guam, Korea, Okinawa, Honshu, Hokkaido, Hawaii, Diego Garcia, Alaska and of course Washington State and Virginia.
I flew on and helped maintain some great aircraft! My favorites are the RC45J (Fabric covered Sky King type), A4 Skyhawk, US2C (Stoof), A6 Intruder, SH3 Sea King Helicopter (I hate Helicopters) and the P3 Orion.
I loved my career in the Navy, but would never do it again!
