8 February 1970
I flew two hops today - a CAS this morning and a TPQ tonight. I flew both with lieutenants and I really enjoyed them! I like flying with lieutenants so much more. Maj. Gibson is out of the squadron now.
VMFA-314 lost another plane this morning! That’s two within 48 hours. This one was shot down, but both guys got out okay. When I first heard about this plane being shot down, they thought it was the plane that Pat Skeldon was flying in!!! Boy was I worried about that. However it turned out that it was the other plane in the flight!
I heard today that the baby of Capt. George Landon and his wife was prematurely still-born! I wonder if this was at Cherry Point Hospital.
I haven’t played any handball in the past few days. I just haven’t had time during the daytime because of all the flying. I don’t like to play at night because then I just want to relax and watch the movie - or read.
I still haven’t received the cookies!!!!
We got no mail today in the squadron! Maybe tomorrow - I hope.
