In November 1966, HMM-161 was on Okinawa in the process of being disbanded and relocating back to New River NC. Before that happening, there was an all-squadron picture taken at MCAF Futenma where we are stationed. My copy was destroyed long ago while in transit stateside with the rest of my personal stuff.
Does any former member of HMM161 there at the time have their copy of the squadron picture? Would like to have a copy.

Hugh,
I think I have a copy of that picture, or one much like it. I am in the process of scanning all my pics onto DVD; I will zap you a copy when I can.'

I spent about 5 years 1981 - 1986 with HMM 161 back in MCAS Tustin - I might even have a squadron photo of it when they were awarded I think for high time accident free flight flight hours.
