Thanks for honoring VA147, the first echo birds were delivered to us summer 69. Many of us were trained at the LTV factory in Texas, and in the fall we deployed for carrier trials on the USS America in the Caribbean joining the ship at Guantanamo Bay. Our first deployment for a west Pac starting in Virginia and sailing around to South China Sea and to our deployment to Yankee Station off the coast of Vietnam.
@@blitzwolfe7875: Check out our video on the mini-sub and go see if right down the street. LSU has a new military museum on campus. There's an old powder magazine that's now a museum near the State Capitol open on Thursdays. Let me know your date and if it's a Thursday, I can connect you to the manager to make sure she k ows you're coming. Old State Xapitol has a box car from the Merci Train.
