    Crossing the Line of Death by CAPT Grant Begley

    If you enjoyed it, i'd check out the book "EL Dorado Canyon". It's a great account of not only the mission but the politics/actions pre and post strike. Really gives a great prospective of the relationship between the West ( mostly from a US standpoint) and Libya.

    FOD kills a good engine just as easy as a bad engine and I'll take four sets of eyes over two.

    Pilot retires after flying in four branches

    Great story! Since I was there today, the one thing I kept thinking though the whole read, was how much this guy has spent at the uniform shop...Good GOD!:icon_tong

    Recommended PRK Doc in Chicago or Boston?

    If you are willing to travel a bit North... look into Dr Alexander in Appleton, Wisconsin. He did my eyes two years ago and is a pioneer in laser correction. He also is the guy for most of the Packers/Brewers/Bucks that get their eyes done in Wisco. Still have 20/15 to this day. Just my 2 cents.

    Farewell to the "PIG"

    Saw this video today and thought it would be a good fit in here. One of the "Pig's" (AND NAVY'S!) shinning moments if you ask me. Way to go "Ronnie Ray-gun".

    OCS Chow Hall Procedures

    Good times! I remember being confused the first few days when everybody was having trouble eating...then I realized that I was one of the few who had been eating this way (with my left hand, not by numbers) my whole life. SUCKS TO BE YOU GUYS!!!

    New NFO Applicant

    ^7hr preflights however, are not a selling point for the P-3. haha All kidding aside he is right, you will enjoy whatever you get picked up to fly. That being said it is very rare that the dude in first doesn't get what they want. So work you ass off and let the chips fall where they may. Good...

    Pilot/Homesick?

    (Steps on soapbox) It's been said above but I want to emphasize it, don't be the dude at your hometown bar that starts every conversation with..."I could've done...If i'd only..." It's bullshit. You (not OP gut the general you) didn't because you were too worried about being comfortable. Can't...

    Amazing find in a barn: FM-2 Wildcat..and it can be yours for > $100K

    I remember driving with my dad one day a few years ago and passing by an old F-9F Panther. It was in really bad shape (top of the tail was gone and the wings were missing from pretty much the root.) and the paint was all worn off, but it was still amazing to walk around it and just imagine the...

    Pensacola Housing Options

    I lived in the town houses on Innerarity Point and loved it. Only 17 minutes from parking place to the 86 lot. The point is out of the way of the tourists that hang out on the key in the summer and the bay is actually pretty nice to swim in. it's super shallow (only like 4 feet out to about a...

    Welcome home CVW-7!

    Saw all the Hornets come in this afternoon and it was a pretty cool sight to say the least. It was my first time seeing an Airwing come home. Welcome back! http://www.wavy.com/dpp/news/local_news/carrier-air-wing-seven-homecoming

    Choice of Aircraft after Flight School

    In -86 you select about 3ish months into it. Guys who go Prowlers go straight to the T-45. Guys who select Boeing (Growler/Rhinos) go though the Strike Fighter portion of training before going to the T-45.
