The photos on this page were contributed by Ray Ruggles. They were taken between 1964 and 1965 during the time Ray, while serving with VR-24 Rota, was also assigned Temporary Additonal Duty (TAD) at the base aviation fuel farm. That assignment enabled Ray to see and photograph an interesting assortment of transient aircraft, the results of which are shown below. Anyone who has photos or information that he/she cares to share with "shipmates" and friends is encouraged to send them to Dick Prather, Webmaster/Editor of the VR-24 website.
