R Leonard Posted June 26, 2011 Share #7 Posted June 26, 2011 I sure did enjoy! The last one, of the F2H with the white 101, that was my father's plane. He was CO of VF-171 from July 1948 to October 1950 when he moved up to CAG-17. Regards, Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Meatcan Posted June 26, 2011 Share #8 Posted June 26, 2011 neat pix! always cool to see snaps from that era when piston planes were still plentiful alongside the jets. Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R Leonard Posted June 27, 2011 Share #10 Posted June 27, 2011 I have not just a few VF-171 photos, but they are all packed away and a major effort to unearth. On the other hand, here's a previously scanned 171 patch from that period Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronxboymike Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share #11 Posted June 27, 2011 RAL, Here's a picture of the CVG-17 Airgroup patch. By the way beautiful VF-171 patch. Would love to see any other squadron patches your Father may have acquired. By the way tell him I appreciate his service. I am a fan and collector of naval aviation.
