From what I remember and what I can read they are no longer issued and the
NFO came out in 1968. Yet I see a website where someone claiming to be a
commander and being commissioned in 82 wearing A/O wings on his uniform.
In my limited 16 year career (med disch not retired) I never once seen
them.

Plus a lot of his other pictures and stuff don't add up.

Like his pictures of VP31 A/C deployed overseas, Course I was in VP31 and
don't remember them deploying all over the world they seemed to train a
lot of people though .


Thanks in advanced for answering the query

Hey Scotty!

This is Tom from Rota days! The NAO wings are still in the book, at least
they were a couple of years ago, when we had a female Aviation Physiologist
qualify for them at VX-20 when I was working in Ops. You don't see them
very often though.

VP-31 was the west coast RAG for the P-3, so except for nav trainers there
probably wasn't much "deploying" going on.

I lost my medical last year due to a bypass operation and finally had to
quit flying the Herk! I now work for NavAir in the Airworthiness shop doing
NATOPS manuals. Not as much fun, but I get to go to a lot of NATOPS
conferences and tell sea stories!

What are you up to?
