Are any of these family photos? I think I recognize the east gate at NAS Miramar and probably a shot taken on the carrier pier at Coronado. Am I right? My old squadron, VF-21, our sister squadron VF-154 and the TOPGUN school shared hangar #1 there in the early 1980s. Gary

 

No, not family photos.
