My dad retired as the Leading Chief of VA-115 in 1976 at NAS Whidbey.

If you have seen the movie or read the book “Flight of the Intruder”, the scene of the BN being killed by an AK-47 actually happened in his squadron. One of the very few times I saw my dad cry as he was reading that in the book.
