Actually, until 1970, all naval reserve Neptunes were stationed at the
former NAS Seattle (Sandpoint). VP-69 was established at Whidbey after the
closure of the airfield at Seattle.

Thomas,

The VP P-2 squadrons I was refering to were not reserve squadrons. In the
'60s there was also a seaplane tender and a P-5M VP quadron stationed at
Whidbey.

It sure had a radome when it was old LG-11 from VP-18.


True. All the operational P-2s stationed at Whidbey Island back in
the mid 1960s had radomes.


And they still had 'em in the mid '70s. ;^)
