The DASH crew readys a QH-50D for a runup or maybe a practice flight.

Bill Latta took the photo we think in 1966 or 1967. In 1966 the newer QH-50D model drones began replacing the QH-50Cs in the fleet. The main visible difference is that the tail fins on the C model disappeared from the D model. They weren't really needed! Help us with the IDs in this photo: The sailor standing in the background on the right is Henry Suckfull, one of the DASH ET strikers. Standing foreground on the right is Bob Shaffer, EN2. Bill Latta, Ron Donofrio and Don Provost are unable to ID the others. One or two are possibly DASH TechReps. (Help write captions and ID shipmates... click to Email page author Don Provost.) |
