I've lost track of this fellow. David Kolody (left) was from somewhere in New Mexico. I'm not sure where he was assigned in VA-172, but we spent a few liberties together in Jacksonville before I left the squadron. - GALEY MEDIA Photo Galleries- powered by SmugMug

Attack Squadron One-Seventy-Two (VA-172) flew A-4 Skyhawk aircraft and had quite an illustrious history. These are a few photos of the aircraft and personnel in the early 1960s. The squadron was embarked aboard the USS Franklin D. Roosevelt and was based at NAS Cecil Field, Florida, when ashore. Click on any of the accompanying photos to see a larger image.
