Hello,
Just came across your NOTAM post. I was at HMX-1 from September 1966 till May 1970, when I retired.

Does anyone know of a pilot in HMX 1

named "Doc. Palacio??" We went thru Pcola together and last I heard he went to HMX in '74/75. He was a short, insane, NYC, italian with no verbal inhibitions at all. 😀

Hmx-1

I was there in 1977 before I received a medical discharge. I was in the avionics shop and later maintenance control.

I was in HMX-1 at Quantico from October '70 to October '71. Lived in Q-Town for the first two months, then Woodbridge. Anyone arouond from that time?

HMX-1 Palancia

This is in reply to donc.

Palancia worked for me at HMX, when I was the Green Side AMO. I was there for 4.5 great years!

Doc and I have crossed paths since then many times and we are retired in the same area. If you want to send me a PM, and your email at that time, I can reunite you two.

He has not changed and your description is more accurate than many I have seen concerning "Doc", who is a great guy in my book, and has always been a friend for me. He may have a few shortcomings, but then who does not?

I was in HMX twice the first time was Aug 1960 to Nov 1965 and the second time was Feb 1970 to Aug 1972. I really enjoyed Quantico there was so much to do on the base. SF

No Presindents!!

Dont see any from pre-Presidental days. Was there Dec 1950 for about 3 months. Was lucky to have LtCol Kieth B. McCutheon as our CO. Our mission in those days was to be trained & form all the new Helicopter Squadrons. I was sent to LTA where we formed VMO-2. Later was in several of them & was assigned at NATTC Memphis where we established the first helicopter school. From than until 1993 Helicopters were my life. SF PM

Was there from Nov. '67 to Apr. '69
