Early 1970s - California Dreamin'

This will most likely be a work in progress, so keep popping in for a look.

APPROACHING STORM - CHANNEL ISLANDS HARBOR
This shot was taken from the bridge over the channel near the apartments, which are behind me.

This a full-length shot of one of the aircraft from my Navy days in Patrol Squadron 65 (VP-65). There were twelve in all, their call signs derived from the squadron's two-letter designation (PG) and the "buzz number" on their nose. One of this plane's sister ships, "PG-6" (BuNo 141234), is now on outdoor display at the National Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola, Florida. Other than the PG on the tail and the squadron logo, there are no squadron markings on it, though, not even the treasured Navy "E" below the windscreen.](https://photos.smugmug.com/Photography/California-Dreamin/i-667bbTZ/0/eebed296/Ti/Lockheed%20SP2H%20Neptune%20%5B1957%5D%20141238%20b-Ti.jpg)
