Led by LCDR WALLY STORM they flew their F2l-l-3 Banshees on Combat Air patrols, close air support strikes, photo escort missions and special weapons sorties. There were endless condition four and condition one standbys with the planes spotted on the catapults ready to go at a moments notice. l.T GEORGE WEBSTER was in charge of aircraft maintenance, a iob he passed on to LTJG BOB FOLEY when he had to return temporarily to the states shortly before Christmas.
