Looking for several Marine pilots that I believe were from VMO-2. They were attached to VAL-4 Black Ponies from April-June of 1971 while they were evaluating the YOV-10 (NOGS). If you know any of the following individuals listed, I would appreciate it if you would have them contact me.

1st Lt James Dearborn, later served with VMO-2 and 4, instructor in P-cola, also attached to an OV-10 reserve unit in Georgia, I believe. Maj Ransom, OINC, not sure of first name but might be James. I was a JG at the time so it was "Sir or Major", if you know what I mean. Also a Captain, first name Pete. Can't remember last name, sorry. There may have been another pilot but not sure. Any help in locating these gents would be greatly appreciated.

We're working on a 50 year reunion for next year and would like to include them in our festivities. Semper Fi!
