"I like working in the electronics
field. I think it’s the job of the
future. It's a challenging to find a
fault in the equipment and then repair
it," he explained.
The 20-year-old Indiana native is
interested in motorcycles, photography,
travel and reading—especially west-
erns. He also enjoys playing basketball
and ping-pong. Rating himself as a
beginner at racquetball, he partici-
pated in the Hubert H. Humphrey
racquetball tournament last weekend.
A1C Simon has also spent some of
his off-duty time taking college
courses, feeling this will add to his
professionalism in his military job.

VP-56 comes to Iceland
Patrol Squadron Fifty-Six arrived at
Keflavik last week, beginning its sixth
month deployment. Homeported at Naval
Air Station Jacksonville, FL, it is the
relieving squadron for Patrol Squadron
Sixteen which returned to its homeport,
also at Jacksonville.
The squadron began as Patrol Squadron
Nine Hundred in 1946 in the Washington,
DC area. During its beginning, the
squadron flew the PV-2 "Harpoon".
For several years, the squadron has
flown the P-3C "Orion", a military
variation of the commercial "Electra"
In the interim, various models of
the Martin patrol bomber "Mariner",
P5M "Marlin", P-2 "Neptune" and earlier
versions of the "Orion" have borne the
squadron’s aircrews.
VP-56 has won Battle Efficiency
Awards and the Isbell Trophy for ex-
cellence in anti-submarine warfare
operations on deployments to Guan-
tanamo Bay, Cuba; Rota, Spain;
Roosevelt Roads, Puerto Rico and the
Naval Air Facility Lajes, Azores,
Portugal in addition to Keflavik.
In the summer of 1971, the squadron
became the first P-3C unit to be
homeported at NAS Jacksonville.
FIFTH KEFLAVIK DEPLOYMENT
Operating at Keflavik on its fifth de-
ployment to Iceland, the squadroirhas set
new records in aircraft availability,

ness .
The "Dragons" were born at the end-of
World War II; their mission of keeping
the seaways safe and open is success-
fully enhanced by flying the "Orion".
The P-3Cs are capable of speeds in ex-
cess of 400 miles per hour, a range of
more than 4,000 miles and can stay aloft
for 14 plus hours from sea level to
30,000 feet, regardless of existing
atmospheric conditions.
The "Orion" crew consists of 12 per-
sonnel, including three pilots, two
naval flight officers, two flight en-
gineers, three ASW equipment operators,
one in-flight technician and one ord-
nanceman.
The squadron personnel roster num-
bers 307 enlisteds and 67 officers.

The VP-56 executive officer is Com-
mander D. G. Oakes.
