NOVEMBER LUNCHEON HRANA SQUADRON
Guest speaker for the16 November 2011 luncheon of the Hampton Roads Squadron, Association of Naval Aviation, was retired Cmdr Andy Dambeklan, Navy liaison for the movie, "The Final Countdown." The 1980 movie starred Kirk Douglas and featured the USS Nimitz. Dambeklan, assigned to VF-84 during the filming, provided clips from the movie with ship scenes shot along the East coast and the Caribbean. According to Dambeklan the movie made big bucks for the U.S studios but was a bigger hit in Japan.
