Glenn, our son is a Flight Engineer with VP-40 out of Whidbey Island, Washington. He is currently deployed overseas but really likes it. He graduated from NAS Jacksonville in February of this year and is currently a "nugget" which means he still has an instructor on board but he does the job of FE.

Our son Brian is a Flight Engineer on the P-3 with VP-30 up at Whidbey Island. He has been deployed several times and just found out that he is going to Flight Engineer Instructor school. I believe he will be one of the youngest instructors around. He is pretty happy to visit with anyone just starting out and giving them pointers and so forth!

MY son is in his final days of FE school for the P3. WE are flying out to Jacksonville later this month to see him and attend the graduation ceremony. It sounds like he really like the plane and all the people he serves with.

Be sure to see St Augustine Florida while you are in the area. It is the oldest city in the United States.

My dad was an FE.

Best Wishes to you and your son.
