More USN G-1 Jackets

[Maverickson]

Here is another photo of my father the late CDR." Buck" E.E. Sheeley USN retired aboard USS Wasp. He is seen sitting second from the left in his G-1 flight jacket. He was buried at Arlington April 30, 2008. CDR. Sheeley was two tour combat veteran of the Vietnam conflict aboard the USS Oriskany with Airwing 16. Then Lt. CDR Sheeley was in command of a section of A-4 Skyhawks on October 26, 1967 in an Alpha Srtike on the Uong Bi Thermal Power Plant over Hanoi North Vietnam. Two of the twenty odd planes from that engagement did not make it back that day to Oriskany. Among those lost were LT. JG. C.D Rice and LT. CDR. J.S. McCain current US Senator and Presidential hopeful.
