USS LEXINGTON Former Crew Member

Name: Roberts, Bruce A.

Service Dates: 1959-1961

Rank/Duty Assigned: AME 2 VF 213

Description:

I had two WESPAC deployments with CAG-21 VF-213 1959 – 1961. Our first deployment we flew F4D Skyray, on the second deployment we flew F3H Demon. I worked on ejection seats, canopy, anti-g systems, oxygen systems. My favorite aircraft was the F4D Skyray, it used a liquid oxygen system and I enjoyed working with the liquid. Sure brings back memories thinking about all this and our time on the LEX.
