The Douglas A-3 Skywarrior, the first aircraft to rumble with the sound of jet engines on Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, is back.
The aircraft was to return today at 1 p.m. After some work to render it inca-pable of flight, the A-3 Skywarrior will be permanently displayed near the main gate at the corner of Ault Field Road and Langley Boulevard, just a few hundred yards east of the Chiefs Club.
The A-3, also called “the whale” because of its size, was first stationed on NAS Whidbey in 1956 with Heavy Attack Squadron 4, the first jet squadron on the island. Six squadrons and a train-ing squadron would also call Whidbey Island home during the Skywarrior’s service; the last was decommissioned in February, 1971.
The A-3 was originally designed as a strategic bomber during the cold war, but was mostly used by the Navy as a refuel-ing tanker, and also for photo reconnais-sance and electronic warfare.
In all, 251 people lost their lives fly-ing and working on the Skywarrior. It has returned to Whidbey Island to stand as a memorial because of the efforts of the Whidbey A-3 Skywarrior Memorial Foundation.
Foundation members Bill Burklow, Ralph Estes, Bill Young and many oth-ers have worked relentlessly to get a “whale” to Whidbey and their work has paid off.
“The whole reason behind this is to dedicate the memorial to 251 lost souls,” said retired Navy Capt. Young.
Aviators flew the A-3 out of NAS Air Station Whidbey Island, off carriers and other land bases at the height of the
Vietnam War. Though it was the biggest and heaviest plane on aircraft carriers — 73 feet long by 72 feet wide — it was quick.
“It was very fast,” said Young. “Its cruise speed was faster than most other airplanes could go. F-4’s would have to

It’s amazing how quickly trash can accumulate, even on the beach.
Last Friday, volunteers from Naval Air Station Whidbey Island came out to do a little cleaning in honor of Earth Day. NAS Whidbey Recycle has been sponsoring the beach cleanup for 16 years to call attention to how much trash can really be recycled.
“Every year this event has been a great success in cleaning up the beaches that NAS shares,” said Paul Brewer, Internal Solid Waste Manager for the base recycling center. “It really gets everyone involved in doing something positive for the environment.”
Brewer estimates there are between 200 and 300 volunteers each year.
Several tenant com-mands participate, including the Center for Naval Aviation Technical Training Unit, which is the largest sponsor of volun-
teers for the cleanup.“I’m glad I was able to
volunteer and help out today in cleaning the beach. I never knew how much trash would be down here for us to collect,” said Aviation Electrician Airman Ethan Barron, from CNATTU.
There is usually no shortage of recyclable material found on the beach, and this year was no exception.
“In getting trash off the beach, especially a huge tire we found near the water, it really felt good to clean up the area for the environment,” said Aviation Electronics Technician Airman Joshua Whidden, also from CNATTU.
In addition to the beach cleanup, NAS Whidbey Recycle sponsored an environmental fair, where, among other things, people could guess the weight of cubes of aluminum cans.

Command of Fleet Air Reconnaissance Squadron (VQ) 2 at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island has changed.
Cmdr. Mark Stockfish assumed command from Cmdr. Bryan Durkee in a ceremony held April 21 in Hangar 6. Presiding officer for the ceremony was Capt. John Scorby, Jr., executive assistant and military aide assistant, Secretary of the Navy (Energy, Installations and Environment).
During his command, Durkee led the VQ-2 Rangers in conducting continuous combat flight operations in support of the Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance requirements of four combatant commanders. The squadron led task groups from four detachment sites, flying missions in many fleet exercises and car-rier wing workups, as well as providing aircraft, combat reconnaissance crews and maintenance personnel.
In a press release, Durkee said leading the Rangers had
been an honor, praising both the tools used and the sail-ors in his command.
“Today’s EP-3 is the most versatile and capable reconnaissance platform I have seen in my career,” he said. “I have truly been humbled by the way our sailors and aircrew lead and execute our mission.”
Durkee now heads to NAS Patuxent River, Md., Naval Aviation Systems Command.
Cmdr. Stockfish, who was the VQ-2 executive officer, now takes command of more than 450 personnel and 10 aircraft. Stockfish said Durkee’s leadership “melded the squadron into a cohesive and agile fighting force,” and he looks forward to the challenges of his new command.
“Although the squadron may be disestablished in the near future, we will make the most of our oppor-tunities and continue to be the preeminent ISR force for the U.S. Navy,” he said.

The Ladies Auxiliary of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Whitehead-Muzzall Post 7392 in Oak Harbor will celebrate the return of Diane Small Saturday at 7 p.m. with a dinner in her honor.
Small is the presi-dent of the Ladies Auxiliary Depart-ment of Washing-ton, and
has represented both her local auxiliary and those throughout the state of Washington on a national level for the past year.
There are 81 auxiliaries and 16 districts in the state. While in Washington, D.C., Small met with sena-tors and representatives to discuss top issues facing veterans and their fami-lies. She got a multitude of reactions.
“From having heard of
the issue and supporting it, to having me explain it to them,” Small said.
A big issue, for instance, is Army National Guard and reserve component units and their multiple deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. Some units have been deployed as many as eight times.
The problem, said Small, is soldiers leave jobs to go overseas and when they return after three or four deployments, they find they’ve lost their job. National Guard members are losing their homes and being cast adrift in the
country they are protect-ing, according to Small.
Also important to Small are the many different veteran and family support plans the auxiliary has.
One is Operation Uplink, where phone banks are installed overseas and military members can call home. Since 2006, it has connected more than five million troops and is paid for by the VFW Ladies Auxiliary.
Another is the Military Assistance program, or Unmet Needs. If a military family is having financial problems, such as not being able to pay an out-standing hospital bill or a vehicle repair, for instance, the fund will pay up to $2,500 directly to the hos-pital or the auto shop. The money does not have to be paid back.
The auxiliary raises money for these programs by donations from all the posts, auxiliaries and national grants.
The Oak Harbor VFW Post has approximately
1,000 members and 321 Ladies Auxiliary members.
Small joined the local VFW Ladies Auxiliary at Whitehead-Muzzall Post in 1992 and has served through six different one year-positions to get to be Department of Washington president.
Those with questions about the homecoming event can call 675-4048.
“To be able to see the people we touch and to better the lives of military veterans’ communities, it’s phenomenal,” Small said. “And the rewards come back ten-fold.”

Navy League seeks donations for Whidbey sailors
The Oak Harbor Navy League is looking for items to be donated for care packages to send to deployed sailors from Naval Air Station Whidbey Island.
Donations may be dropped off at the Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce until May 12.
Items most requested by personnel in Afghanistan include foot powder, beef jerky, powdered drink mixes, flushable baby wipes and Beanie Babies.
“Send some in every package to all units, as they are really easy for the soldiers to carry with them and give to the local kids, who love them,” wrote Chief Lukas Gardner to a member of the Navy League.
Gardner is one of three NAS Whidbey Island sail-ors on the USS Cleveland, which is participating in Pacific Partnership 2011.
A list of items can be found online at www.whidbeycrosswind.com.

I have to say that of all the places I’ve been priv-iledged to live, and there have been many, the Oak Harbor area seems to set the standard when it comes to volunteerism and humanitarian outreach.
I think a lot of that comes from the example set daily by the men and women who serve at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island and in other branches of our nation’s
military.When I interviewed Alvin
Townley, the author of the book “Fly Navy” recently, he told me one of the things he thinks people mis-understand the most is the amount of public service and humanitar-ian aid in which the military is involved. While there is a combat element inherent to being in the military, Townley said he was struck by how dedicated the sailors
he met were to helping other people, citing examples of aid to Haiti and more recently, Japan.
So it’s really no surprise I found example after exam-ple of outreach and volunteer efforts in just this week’s Crosswind content.
We have active duty sailors pitching in to clean up the beach. We have members of the Navy League collect-ing items for care packages to send to our active duty sailors. We have the story of Master Chief Emmanuel Montenegro, who in 2008 spent several months as part of the humanitarian effort Pacific Partnership. Then there’s the NAS Whidbey Search and Rescue team who took the time to share with members of the community about how they help people every day.
With our large active duty and retired population, I guess it’s no surprise these characteristics, gleaned from years of service in action, are evident all over Whidbey Island. If we learn by example, we have plenty of good teachers.

Whidbey Search and Rescue helps in Coast Guard rescue
A helicopter from Naval Air Station Whidbey Island lent a hand to assist in a Coast Guard rescue last week.
A Coast Guard MH-65 Dolphin helicopter crew from Air Station Port Angeles, Wash., medi-cally evacuated a man from Olympic National Park who was injured after reportedly falling down an avalanche chute Thursday, April 21.
The victim was at approximately 3,800 feet elevation near Mount Olympus, which is about 35 miles south of Port Townsend.
According to a NASWI public affairs spokes-woman, NASWI Search and Rescue responded at the request of the Armed Forces Rescue Coordinating Center and launched a SAR crew of five — two pilots, two aircrew and one hospital corpsman.
The SAR crew from NAS Whidbey did not conduct the rescue, but played an integral role in the effort.
“Navy SAR remained overhead to relay radio communications between Puget Sound Sector and
the Coast Guard’s SAR helicopter during the res-cue and provide weather updates for safe egress,” public affairs officer Kimberly Martin said.
The Coast Guard crew successfully hoisted the injured man aboard and transported him to Ediz Hook in Port Angeles.
The man was transferred to an Airlift Northwest helicopter and was taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.
Military Spouse Virtual Career Fair
There will be a vir-tual career fair for military spouses from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Friday, May 6.
Milicruit.com, which partners with dozens of military-friendly employ-ers, is hosting the event in conjunction with First Lady Michelle Obama’s and Dr. Jill Biden’s Joining Forces Initiative.
The career fair presents an opportunity for spouses to meet and interact with employers without having to leave their home.
The fair is free to all military spouses. Anyone interested can register to participate at www.militaryspousecf.com.
The Joining Forces Initiative is a national effort to provide service
members and their families opportunities and support in several areas, including employment, education and wellness.
For military spouses in particular, frequent trans-fers to new duty stations can make it difficult to continue in a career or to find similar jobs in new locations
Military Father’s Day contest
Local youth can partici-pate in a Military Father’s Day contest to win a Father’s Day trip for two to see a Seattle Mariners base-ball game.
Youth ages 5 to 17 are eligible to participate in the “What my military
dad means to me” contest. Entries should be creative, and can take the form of art work, an essay or poem.
Those interested can enter at the Convergence Zone on Naval Air Station Whidbey Island between May 1 and 31. The winner will be announced June 8, and will receive two field-level tickets to the June 19 game between the
Mariners and the Phillies at Safeco Field in Seattle, plus round-trip transportation.
All those who enter will receive one coupon for a free game of youth bowl-ing. All entries will be on display at the Convergence Zone media center throughout June.

go to afterburners to keep up with them.”Young remembers his first trip to
Vietnam in an A-3 Skywarrior off the USS Coral Sea (CV-43).
“The first time I flew into Danang on bingo (low) fuel, there were 10 other aircraft trying to land and the base was under attack,” Young said.
“I was number five in the formation and I saw what looked like the Fourth of July with tracer bullets coming up in front of us.
“Somehow they got the attackers off the base and all 11 planes landed,” he said.
Young eventually had 1,152 flying hours in the
Skywarrior out of a total of 3,864 flight hours.
The A-3 Skywarrior Memorial Foundation originally started in 2000 but was unsuccessful and it folded.
In 2009, Estes sent a letter to then base com-mander Capt. Gerral David, agreeing to help with devel-oping a display and getting information on plans and funding.
This time, the project took off.
The foundation has raised $100,000 and spent about $75,000 to get the plane here.
The group wants to raise more money to embellish and protect the plane.
Which should please 251 lost souls.

PLANE | FROM PAGE 1
“The first time I flew into Danang
on bingo fuel, there were 10 other
aircraft trying to land and the base was under attack. ”
– Capt. Bill Young, retired
Island County.Called “Not Only for
the Young or the Reckless,” organizers say the panel is a must-see presentation for men and women of all ages.
“In a perfect world, com-mands would do this every two years, because they’ve had enough change in per-sonnel so it’s not a repeat for them,” said IDIPIC director JoAnn Hellmann. “This is good for all people to attend because it lets you see the other side of driving under the influ-ence, and ways you can be a defensive driver.”
Hellmann said because
of demographics, com-mands on NAS Whidbey can benefit from the infor-mation presented.
“Studies have shown that anywhere you have the demographic of 18- to 34-year-old males, there is a higher incidence of risk-taking, and that includes a higher rate of DUI,” she said.
The first half of the panel contains current information and facts com-bined with vivid images and videos. Information on new, synthetic drugs like Spice and bath salts is included.
The second half includes community members with a military
connection who have been impacted in some fashion by DUI or substance abuse.
Commands can also direct personnel to attend a base panel if they have received an impaired driv-ing or underage drinking citation, at no cost. The regular $50 fee is waived for active duty, dependents and civilian base employ-ees who attend a panel on base.
Commands should con-tact Hellmann at 672-8219 about scheduling a date or go to idipic@idipic.org for information.
“If you can squeeze out a couple of hours it’s well worth the time,” said Hellmann.

Egg Scramble!SAR team shares stories
By DENNIS CONNOLLYWhidbey Crosswind
Last August, a 15-year-old girl lost her footing while hiking in Hoodsport, Wash., fell off a cliff and into the river in Skokomish River Canyon.
The canyon was narrow and steep with rock faces leading down to the river. The only thing close was a 450-foot bridge spanning the canyon. The girl lay at the bottom with a ground rescue crew.
A MH-60S Knigthawk helicopter, with a six-mem-ber search and rescue team from Naval Air Station Whidbey Island arrived and analyzed the situation. It wasn’t the best.
But that’s what Navy search and rescue teams are trained to do. No mat-ter what the situation, SAR teams pluck people out of waves bigger than houses, lift them from sinking ships, tracts of snowy forest or even deserts.
Last Thursday, Lt. Brandon Sheets, the pilot and commander of that bridge mission, along with Naval Air Command First Class Andrew Worth, Naval Air Command sec-ond class Brian Casey and Lt. Leah Tunnell were at the Oak Harbor Library to talk about their job to an audience of men, women and children.
They went through the make up a SAR crew: Two pilots and two res-cue swimmers, although it could be more, and the organization on the MH-60S.
“The crew, all the guys keep the aircraft perfectly clean,” noted Sheets. “We always keep a bag ready to go, we are always ready.”
Worth, who started his Naval career in Jacksonville, Fla., has been on the carriers USS Nimitz and USS Enterprise and has been an aviation rescue school instructor, among other things.
“It’s a cool thing to be able to help out people,” Worth said. “I have a very cool job and I’m able to help people.”
He also mentioned that he participated in approxi-mately 40 rescues last year.
Petty officer Brian Casey joined the Navy in 2003, and was aboard the aircraft carrier John C. Stennis (CVN-74). As a rescue swimmer, he said he had a lot of jobs. He also went to combat search and res-cue school. It’s an intense training situation that takes
place near Fallon, Nev. Casey said they train day and night for a month, building their search and rescue skills.
“I still have my Elvis patch,” Casey said. “It reads, ‘If he’s out there, we’ll find him.’”
The group talked a little about the rescue in the Skokomish River Canyon. Sheets said they flew over it and saw the girl.
“We are trained to a high level, so we took a deep breath, surveyed every-thing and formulated a plan to do it safely,” Sheets said. “We knew we could do it safely.”Once their plan was laid out, the helicopter flew under the bridge. Hospital Corpsman second class, Richmond Roy, got on the rescue line and was low-ered down to the girl, who was already strapped to the
litter by the rescue crew on the ground. Roy and the girl were hoisted up to the helicopter, which held rock steady. They got the girl out, and she was taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.
The SAR crewmen showed the library audi-ence some of the safety equipment they carry, like their masks and flip-pers and drysuit, which is smaller than one expects.
Then Lt. Sheets and Lt. Tunnell and petty officers Casey and Worth took questions from the audi-ence.
Near the end of their presentation, Sheets lined up some of the children in the audience and helped them stand at attention.
Tough and very young, these potential search and rescue sailors were very attentive and respectful.

Editor’s note: The U.S. Navy’s Pacific Partnership 2011 got underway in March. There are currently three sailors from Naval Hospital Oak Harbor participating in the mission.
By MELANIE HAMMONS
Whidbey Crosswind
W hen Master Chief Hospital Corpsman Emmanuel Montenegro enlisted in the Navy, he counted on seeing danger, adventure and exotic
ports of call. What he did not plan on was being a diplo-mat – but during his tour with Pacific Partnership 2008, he found his job description had just expanded.
“Our commanding officer at the time, Capt. Colin Chinn, called us ‘medical diplomats,’” said Montenegro, of Naval Hospital Oak Harbor.
Montenegro was one of 12 sailors from NHOH assigned to USNS Mercy, a hospital ship sent to provide assistance to Southeast Asian countries.
Pacific Partnership, conducted yearly, is a joint disaster preparedness and humanitarian exercise that involves not only the Navy, but other service branches, multi-nation-als, and non-governmental agencies such as Project Hope, Operation Handclasp and others.
Montenegro worked as a medical operations planner during the 2008 exercise. Recently he reflected on his memories of that assignment, and its importance to the
Navy’s overall mission.“We had people skilled in dentistry, surgery, physical
therapy, and even sanitation and environmental health,” he said. “Our intent was to improve the lives of people in Third World nations, and in doing so, to build an alliance between their nation and ours.”
Montenegro described the effort as a big logistical oper-ation that divided the workforce into 10 to 20 teams for the five-month mission. They offered an array of medical services to communities in New Guinea, the Philippines, Vietnam, and Micronesia.
“Our work day started at 5:30 a.m., where we were issued two MRE’s and 5 or 6 bottles of water,” he said. “Some services were offered aboard ship while others were held at clinics ashore. We conducted classes in basic sanitation practices, in particular.
“For example, in New Guinea, we emphasized the importance of controlling mosquitoes to combat malaria. When our time there was up, we left them supplies to continue that task,” said Montenegro.
Their work was not without danger. Once, in the south-ern Philippines, a helicopter ferrying passengers to the hospital ship sustained an apparent gunshot, leading to the temporary suspension of the USNS Mercy’s mission.
“In some areas, we were always accompanied by armed Marine escorts, and often, armed locals as well,” said

Montenegro. He noted the importance of always being prepared when on foreign soil.
Still, he believes their group had a positive, and lasting, influence upon the people and cultures they visited.
“Sometimes, we treated patients who told us they’d walked four or five hours just to get to one of our clinics,” he said.
In particular, he remem-bers the case of a New Guinea youngster who was able to walk for the first time, thanks to the surgical team’s expertise.
If the mission did not
lack for danger, neither did it lack for light-hearted moments.
“In the Philippines, I was able to meet up with my parents in Manila,” said Montenegro. “We were treated to a luau in New Guinea — the food was fabulous! In Vietnam, we saw, of all things, a beauty pageant.”
Some of his fondest memories were in the evenings. The U.S. Navy Band, which accompanied the mission as a gesture of friendship, provided good music for social events.
Liberty ports of call included Australia, Singapore, and Hawaii.
Danger, adventure, and exotic ports of call – none
of these were in short supply during Pacific Partnership 2008. But the hard work and long hours built camaraderie and friendships that last to this day.
For Montenegro, there remains an even deeper
satisfaction of knowing the donated supplies, valuable advice and training, and life-changing medical treat-ments not only changed people’s lives for the bet-ter, but forged friendships between nations.
“When I look at what
happened in Japan recently, with the earthquake and tsunami, that’s exactly the sort of thing we train for in Pacific Partnership,” he said.
“I’d look forward to doing it again, if I ever had the chance.”
