I flew with LT Martin in the late 70s. He was a good man, pilot, AC and MC. The LT was always very kind. I remember one late night riding in the bus to the barracks, he had lost his hat. He was very upset with the missing hat. LT I looked and didn’t find your hat, I hope you found it. You will be missed by many. Prays for your family. Blue Skies. James Wirt
I flew with Jeff often in VQ-4. He was a stand up guy and always ready to teach. My heart is broken and prayers are offered up to his family for comfort and support. God speed Jeff. TIL we meet again.
