Events

Yuma Arizona was the first base I was stationed at after finishing my "A" school in Lakehurst N.J. My MOS was 6064 "Flight Equipment Marine", responsible for the Parachutes, and other Survival Equipment installed on the aircraft. In March of 1977 I reported into Headquarters and was asked if I had a preference in Squadrons. MCAS Yuma, you see, was a multi unit base. It had the F-4J's of VMFAT-101, the AV8-A Harrier's of VMA-513, and the A-4M and TA-4J's of VMAT-102. I liked the sound of "Ground Attack" so I selected the A4 unit, and was never sorry I did.
VMAT-102 was formed from a merging of two previous Marine Squadrons in the late 60's, VMT-102, and VMA-103.
The unit's primary function is to take the varnish off of the newly won pilots wings of 2nd Lieutenants. These officers have just completed their primary pilot qualifications, and their single engine jet qualifications. It is here that they come to Yuma, having been selected to learn the close air support role the Marine Corps require in the Fleet Marine Force. And VMAT-102 is the unit that teaches them to do it in the Venerable A-4 Skyhawk.
The Squadron's name comes from the aircraft, as it is known as "The Skyhawks".
The call sign of '102' is it's tail markings "SC" or Sierra Charlie."

February 18, 1969: TA-4F Skyhawk BuNo 153493 was damaged in an accident and was stricken.
e-Mail sa-contact-losses@a4skyhawk.net if you have any further information re the who, what, where or why.

April 23, 1969: Lt. Graham E. Tharp, 22, a student pilot with VMAT-102,was killed yesterday when his A-4C Skyhawk (BuNo 148474) crashed 7 miles NW of Blythe, CA. The Arizona Republic, Thursday, April 24, 1969. During the flight his Skyhawk experienced a flame out. After unsuccessful attempts to restart the engine, the instructor who was accompanying him in another aircraft advised him to eject. Lt. Tharp made an attempt to eject, but only the canopy jettisoned, the seat remained in the aircraft. As he was quickly losing altitude, he felt he could pull off a wheels up belly landing and picked a flat open area of desert and set the plane down. The jarring from the belly landing shook something in the egress system causing the seat eject. Unfortunately the seat did not go high enough for the chute to deploy and he was killed. Joe Idoni. The accident I remember (and it happened before I got there) involved the failure of the aircraft's engine up over Blythe, CA. The student pulled the rat and begin gliding down - setting up for a controlled ejection (I don't remember why the engine quit.) When the IP read the check list for controlled ejection, he left out the step calling for depressurizing the cockpit. When the student pulled the ejection handle, there was a puff of smoke but nothing happened. It seems the bottle on the side of the canopy bungee was empty - no gauge, it had to be weighed to see if it was full of nitrogen. The student tried the canopy ejection handle, but that failed too - it needs the same bottle to separate the bungee. The IP then read him the bailout procedure - again omitting the depressurize the cockpit step. When the student tried to open the canopy with the manual handle, pressurization prevented the canopy from opening. The student then pulled the manual seat separate handle to bail out, but with the canopy on the aircraft that wasn't going to work either. At about 8,000 feet MSL the canopy separated from the aircraft, but the student was too low to bail out (the sink rate is a bit high.) He tried to ditch at Blythe, and the seat fired when the airplane hit the ground. Since he wasn't attached to the seat, he was killed. From S/F Larry Wood "Nickel"

14 July 1970: Two Navy Skyhawks collided on the ground at Dobbins AFB Tuesday, but both pilots escaped injury -- one by ejecting and parachuting back to the runway. The lead plane was piloted by VRF-32 Lt. Owen Haggard (BuNo 148508) and the second by VRF-32 Lt. Charles King (BuNo 148472). Both are assigned to NAS North Island and were enroute to Boston from North Island. Cdr. Williams (USN spokesman) said the lead plane piloted by Haggard had slowed to the point at which it was almost ready to turn off the runway when the crash took place. King landing behind Haggard, was unable to brake his plane, and the additional complication of a flat tire, reduced his directional control and made the collision unavoidable. The rear end of the lead plane burst into flames on impact, and King immediately ejected. The Atlanta Constitution, Wednesday, July 15, 1970. BuNo 148472 was sent to NARF Jacksonville on 10 November 1970 and was stricken by NARF on June 2, 1971.

Both were on an air-combat training mission from MCAS Yuma. Capt. Leffler was admitted to the neurosurgical ICU at LDS Hospital and Capt. Bain was admitted to the shock-trauma ICU in the Salt Lake City Hospital. Arizona Republic, Saturday, June 23, 1979. Capt. Kevin Leffler, 29, was critically injured Friday in the mid-air collision of two A-4Ms over Utah. Capt. Leffler's A-4M collided with a second A-4M piloted by Capt. William Bain, 28, on a training exercise. The accident occurred about 2 p.m. near Granite Peak over the Utah Test Range north of the Dugway Proving Ground. Both men ejected and were picked up by a helicopter summoned by a third pilot in the air during the exercise. Capt. Leffler was reported in critical condition at the at LDS Hospital's neurosurgical ICU unit where he is being treated for a broken neck and leg. Jacksonville Courier, Sunday, June 24, 1979. Capt. Kevin Leffler, 29, and Capt. William F. Bain, 28, ejected and were critically injured when their A-4Ms collided during a training mission over the Great Salt Lake Desert Friday. Capt. Leffler was admitted to the neurosurgical ICU at LDS Hospital and Capt. Bain was admitted to the shock-trauma ICU in the Salt Lake City Hospital. Hill AFB Information Officer Bob Bowman said the pilots were flown by helicopter to the hospital. Bowman also said the collision occurred near Granite Peak over the Utah Test Range north of the Dugway Proving Ground while the planes were on an air-combat training mission from MCAS Yuma.

1981: A-4M Skyhawk BuNo. 159786 SC-13. Early in the spring of 1981, Steve Kurt got a ride in the back seat of a VMAT-102 TA-4J Skyhawk, to chase a student flying an A-4M familiarization flight. Fortunately Steve brought along his Canon AT-1 camera with 50mm lens and using Ektachrome 200 film. The following is a photo study of 159786 during that flight from MCAS Yuma. This picture shows the port side of 159786 in level flight.

20MAR08: Flight Gear. From former VMAT102 personnel; "first time the squadron was allowed to det to NAS Fallen Nv. This is the rear det. I can't remember all the names, but I am the guy up on the forward wing just behind the intake. The picture with the group of Marines, is the metal shop crew with Gysgt Sheeran. The windup key on top was a joke we used to tell newbees that they needed to start the aircraft. PFC Thurman was getting the aircraft ready. I was one of the lucky few to have skins and able to fly. I also had a turnup license, which made my time that much more memorable."
