Awesome, I’ll keep an eye out for them. I’ll put them to good use! Thanks Again!! James

I will certainly add that to my reading list and I agree it is hard to fathom what it was like flying missions over Vietnam and your squadron mates not returning to the ship. We often had late night discussions wondering who had occupied our rooms as the Constellation was one of the few active carriers the deployed to Yankee Station. Alvarez was shot down in 411 which was one of our jets. If anyone should have influence over a set of Airwing 16 decals I think it would be you. Hopefully they will have the sets you are looking for. “Over the Beach” concentrates mostly on VF-162

That is exactly the set I am looking for - can’t thank you enough! James Shoenberger 1815 Gerda Terrace Orlando Fl 32804

I literally just downloaded and was reading a preview of your book and plan to order a copy in the near future. Just finished rereading “Heart of a Man” and currently rereading “Over the Beach” and “Bloody Sixteen” is next. Read the first two books prior to initial training at VFA-125. LT Frank Elkins was among the attack pilots names painted on the POW/MIA wall in the main passageway. It was quite sobering and motivating at the same time. I have little doubt I will enjoy your book. In the process of acquiring a few A-4 kits and associated decals . Everett Alvarez being the first

Thanks for the heads up. Difficult decals to source. Blood Sixteen Peter Fey? James

Andy, That would be a great help. Thanks for checking! James

Neil’s, Thanks for the heads up. The 1966 Lady Jesse was aircraft 406 on the Oriskany. Time will tell but 1973,74 markings might not do the job. James

I am modeling the A-4 Skyhawk flown LT Frank Elkins of VA-164 "Ghost Riders" flying off the Oriskany in 1966. The only VA-164 Oriskany decals I've seen are the sheet below in the bottom right corner which is no longer available. Wondering if anyone has this sheet and would be willing to sell that particular set of decals off the sheet? Thanks, James S

Thanks Geoff - New to the forum. I'll post it as you suggested. James

Looking to model the aircraft of LT Frank Elkins of VA-164, Ghost Riders aboard the USS Oriskany in 1966. Trying to locate a set of 1/48 decals of VA-164. There are several A-4 decal sheets than include VA-164 markings and wondering if there is anyone willing to sell any. Thanks, James
