The plane is a US Navy P3-C Mod, belonging to Patrol Squadron 48 (VP-48) and was identified as plane SF-04 when the picture was taken. The picture was taken after I left the Squadron in June of 1989 and prior to being decommissioned on 23-May-1991. While assigned to VP-48 I was a member of Crew Four as an Aviation Anti-Submarine Warfare Operator (Acoustic) Petty Officer Third Class. While in the Reserves, was promoted to Second Class Petty Officer.
