decommisioning VP-65, VP-66 en VP-94
OPNAV NOTICE 3111 29 Nov 05
From Chief of Naval Operations 1. Purpose: To approve disestablishment of subject fleet activities, all under the administrative command of the Chief of Naval Operations. 2. Background: The disestablishment of PATRON SIX FIVE (VP-65), PATRON SIX SIX (VP-66), and PATRON NINE FOUR (VP-94) are in compliance with the Active Reserve Integration (ARI) plan. In adddition, P-3 aircraft fatique issues have required the grounding of 30 aircraft during CY 05, neccessitating an accelerated disestablishment plan to recapitalize scarce aircraft resources. 3. Organizational Changes: Effective 31 March 2006, disestablish VP-65, VP-66 and VP-94. VP-65 is in Point Mugu, CA. VP-66 in Willow Grove, PA. VP-94 in New Orleans, LA. None of the three squadrons had any aircraft left on the ramp. Their 12 P-3s were already on temp loan to active squadrons. All 12 will be transfered no later than 01 Feb 06 to either the active fleet or the boneyard at Davis Mothan AFB. IMRL gear and SE are already in process of being shipped to other locations. This will reduce the Reserve P-3 force to a total of 18 P-3 aircraft in CY 06. |
