| Great site! I was in VF-102 - an F-4 squadron -on the Enterprise (CVAN-65) and America (CVA-66) 1963-1966. VF-33 was flying F-8s while on the Enterprise with us - they were definitely gunfighters. I recall some photorecon F8s on the Enterprise - one had its brakes fail while being spotted on the flight deck while the ship was anchored off Istanbul. The Crusader went over the side into the sea; the plane captain managed to jump before it went in. Thanks very much for the photos and narrative - brings back many memories. | |||

| Don I finaly found some of what I have been hunting. 1.Lt. Ayers went down March 10,1961. We were aboard the Shangri-la in the Med. We were in night operations of the coast of Italy. He radioed the ship he was going to land base because of fuel. Then we got a mayday call. Right after that we (I) saw a streke of light at about a 45degree angle down. Then an explosion. WE looked for 2 Days and all we found was the noise cone of the F4D he was flying. With all the looking I have been doing NO site ever made mention of him. He was a great guy and pilot. there is some confusion on the were about of the shang and vf13 in 1960-61. the first of Nov. weleft Mayport on carrier quarls and returned on the 14th of Nov. As we unloaded we were told to load back up and left the same day(14th Nov.) for they say Guatemala & Nicaragua. We were chasing gun runners for cuba. WE returned 8th of DEc.1960. then on Feb. 2,1961 we left for the Med and returned the 15th of May 1961. In June of 61 they left Mayport for Poland.??. Idon't know much about that yet, because I was discharged the 29 of May 1961. | |||

| I remember taking a break waiting for the planes to come in (I was a plane captain then). We went into the the forward, starboard gun tub for a smoke. Weren't there too long when an F4 slid right off the flight deck over our heads, the pilot got out ok. Needless to say, they had a bunch of us up scrubbing the oil off the flight deck the next morning. | |||

| I just came across this website after my 7 year old grandson discovered my 1965 Shangri La cruise book and was wanting to see more info about it. I was an AQF2 at the time I left the ship in August, 1965 in Genoa Italy (remember the Club Zanzibar) along with My good friend Mike Breck, AQF2 to find our way back to the States for an early out to attend college.I have a store of "This ain't no bullsh**" from that trip alone to last a life time. I saw my name on the list and also the name of another old friend Jim Richardson and it brought back a flood of memories of all the good times and wild times we had all over the Med and the Virgin Islands and New York City I have been Living in Phoenix, Arizona since 1976 with my wife 38 years Judy. I would love to hear from any of my old squadron/shipmates who should happen to see this and also as this is being written on July 4th take a moment to thank all of the "Swabbies" from before and after my time for all they have done and still do for this great country. | |||

During the cruise we had the oil spill in Cannes on July 12, 1965 and we were in a collision with another Navy ship sending us to Naples for reparis. Shipmates in my department included David A. Chase and Henry Rommerdahl. | |||
