3068 Mike Company 1995

Ah, the good old days, before the woke virus infected the us military.

Ed, Question please, what's the best way to transfer 8mm video? Do you have recommendations on whom? I have over three hours at least of small and large 8 mm film. Again, love to see the " old girls" . I walked the weather deck of the USS Missouri in moth balled condition in Bremerton in 1964-65. It was a great experience for a 12 year old then.

So neat to see the old cruisers thanks for sharing. My Uncles served on the earlier class from the early 1930's, the CAs Astoria, Quincy, and finally the Vincennes Many know their fate at the battle of Savo Island

Fantastic video: and from a time many of us took for granted, not only the access to airfields and number of air shows, but the sheer number of aircraft types parked up to view and flying.

Of course, this is actually around 1950 with the markings as they are ...

Served with VAH-4 1961 to late 1964, 2 deployments on the Oriskany, no sooner got back to NAS Whidbey then the squadron sent me back out to serve on the Bonnie Dick to replace another lead AO who was over enlistment, guess what I ended up in the situation was a month over enlistment they flew me back to the states in an A-3 that was damaged on a prior cruise, had enough was discharged a week later!

Thanks for sharing this video. Those tiny nimble fighter like a/c with yellow wings are Ryan PT-22 trainers ;)

Amgayricans sending scrap metal to the Chinese :))

Thanks for posting that! I served aboard the 401 in 1986 at Siuslaw River and on the CGC Sherman from 1988 to 1990. That's a pretty cool video.

in a hurry aint they. i remember when theyd convoy all this . this is quicker.

Well, if it was spotted in Texas and going east bound, it can't be headed back to California; could be our government emptying out the Red States military armories and depots, for something big prior to the elections, hum.

Road this train 4-5 times as a kid in the 1950's and early 60's, then again in 1985. Need to go do it again. I remember as a kid, the D&RG was still running narrow guage freight trains between Durango, Farmington, NM, and points east. All their engines have been converted to run oil now. No more coal.

A friend sent me a link to your clip of Subic Bay, Phillipines, so I thought I'd look at some of your other videos. I lived in Longmont for 42 years and moved about five years ago to a small community that is about 15 miles northeast, with the old rail line from Longmont running right through town. This was really cool to see. I remember in the 1950's going on a school field trip to the sugar beet plant in Longmont to see it all operate. Brought back a lot of memories. Thanks!

Cool video. I served about the USS Bon Homme Richard for two cruises - 69 and 70

THE ONLY AIRCRAFT I COULD IDENTIFY WAS THE FIRST ONE...FORD TRI-MOTOR...

It's a Dixie class destroyer tender (AD) or a sub tender (AS). The bow bulwarks & size of the foc'sle are the give aways. Surface combatants with bow bulwarks would have been WW II cruisers until the Perry & Knox class frigates & the Ticonderoga class cruisers by the 1980s.

What happen to the marine

Whoa. I remember it well. Thanks for sharing!

You might get more views if you put "Fighter Fling" in the title. There's a lot more F14 deployment videos under that label that you can find here on KZbin.

If this said 2024 instead of 1980 there would be 10000 boomer comments about how soft it is now.

3 tanks, 1 AVLB, some 113's and 577, but no Bradley's, Just a FASTV

I dont remember the starksy and hutch porn moustache music when I was there in the 80s. LOL

First

Irony is seeing the logistics train on a train…

Be to NTC in November 81 ,July 82, June 96

If this train is heading EAST of Schulenburg, TX, then it's very likely the destination is JRTC at Fort Johnson (formerly Fort Polk), Louisiana. A lot of support vehicles. Too far away to identify bumper numbers. But, seeing as there is some armor on this train, and that Schulenburg is in south central Texas (way south of Killeen), and that it's heading EAST toward JRTC, I'd put my money on 3rd Armored out of Fort Bliss.

Tank train? I saw 3 tanks and a couple IFV's mostly support and logistics vehicles.

Freedom Train!!!

I did a Westpac on this ship. Thanks

My dad would've been aboard the Rochester at the time of this filming. At the time, he was a Petty Officer 2nd Class Lithographer running the ship's print shop. My mom and sisters and I were pier-side at the homecoming when Rochester returned from their WESPAC deployment. Dad brought us kids all brand-new bicycles from Japan. Thank you for posting this. Let me know if you have any video of the USS Toledo CA-133. He also served aboard her in 1959.

Your videos are a virtual "Time Machine"! I bet many of the pilots flying that day went on to fly combat in WWII!

C46 was spraying insecticide

Whut

What a rare gem! Too bad there wasn't a 4-8-0 in service to power these trips. Thanks for sharing!

USS Charleston LKA-113, lead in the Class of Amphibious Cargo Ships

Thank you so much for this! Thank you very much for posting! Beautiful fall weather! Just perfect!

Beautiful. People enjoying a rail excursion even back then and looks just as crowded as the ones today.

Outstanding , thanks for sharing !

The base was pronounced "May-ther," not "Ma-ther." The officers in the video are not pilots, but navigators. This was long before the days of GPS so navigators were essential to getting the aircraft to the correct location to fulfill their mission and Mather Air Force Base is where all Air Force navigators were trained, and they had to rely on TACAN, VOR, solar navigation and dead reckoning. My first navigator orientation flight was in a T-29, which all of the aircraft shown on the ramp in this video were, back when this video was made in 1974. My next navigator training rides were in the T-43, a military version of the Boeing 737, and oh my goodness, what a difference--it was like going from a wind-up wrist watch to an iPhone. I'm glad I was able to experience the differences between then and now. Thanks for the video--fond memories.

That’s wonderful!

I saw this yesterday down 79. Today an Osprey headed east.

The Whistle makes ((( echo ))) in my heart

Hello again, Ole’ Shakey!

The R.K. Huntington was my first duty station. I never got to know her though. My duty station changed to USS Waccamaw, AO 109 in March of 73. She left for Craney Island or Venezuela in March, and I watcher her pull out of the dock, sorry that I never knew her. Tin Cans always fascinated me :-(

I served 1978-79 A gang ENFN. We got her cleaned up and looking new for the transfer over to the Spanish Navy. She was my first ship.

I’ve been across on the ferry many times in my younger years. Great Times
