The photos on this page are from the collection of Carl Elliott. Though not assigned to VR-24, Carl is hereby accorded the status of honorary member and friend of the squadron. He served as an Aviation Electronics Technician with VQ-2, the other U.S. Navy squadron permanently based at Rota, from November 1963 to 1966. Carl was assigned to the base avionics shop for an extended period in 1965.


Anyone who has photos, stories, and material they wish to share is encouraged to send them to Dick Prather, Webmaster/Editor of the VR-24 website.
