Any guess as to the location?
Two of my west coast squadrons are represented on that wall, VP-1 and VP-6. The VP-1 logo is post 1972. I have a coffee cup with that logo purchased from the JOPA when we were up there for a reunion in '97. The VP-6 logo appears to be pre Steve Warmath's re-do (slimmer shark) circa 1977. Both Hawaii and Moffett squadrons are represented.
I'm gonna guess Adak...
Too bad these guys got in the way...
