I was at Sangley in 1954 and witnessed a “patrol” plane take off at dusk when only the left JATO fired – turning the airborne plane into the fuel storage area at the right end of the runway!. Tremendous explosion and fire and I could feel the intense heat at about half mile down the runway. Very little of anything was found later. Anyone remember this devastating accident?
anyone that was there in 1957-59 fasron119 remember the light house
Nick, I was there from Nov. 57 thru Apr, 59. Cpl Sal Murgo, USMC, with Henry Hulse & Kenny Miller, Gunny Lucero & Alfred Campbell, to name a few…Sal.
Do u happen to know the date when the first batch left Sangley Point? I’m just doing some research…thanks 🙂
I was in VP-40 from 1968-1970 @ Moffett Field. Made two cruises, Sangley Point & Iwakuni. Airframes Div. Know me?
I was gone before that.
Anyone remember this VP40 sailor?
If so please comment.

I remember you Petty Officer Dougherty I hope you remained the great person that I knew you to be. Wishing you Smooth Sailing
I used to spend some nights with Cora. Wow.. does that bring back some memories. I remember one night long after closing, some Huks pounded on the door downstairs, and I (in my matcho self) said I’d go down and find out what the hell they wanted. Cora said, stay up here… they want money..(protection money). If you go downstairs they will kill you. Pretty much got my attention. Cora’s prolly dead now. I guess prolly most everyone we knew overthere are gone by now. Remember the good, forget the bad.
anyone remember Cora’s Upscope in Cavite City?
look for the picture here.
Do I ever, and the Lucky Stars and all the other places I grew up in.
