I could be confused. All that rotor stuff really messed with my brain waves.
Waves! :D

You sure you haven't been in Cuba recently? I hear the Rooskies are really doing some great brain wave stuff there. :eek:

Folks,


A really stupid one, Black Friday question :) Sooooooo, why the aircraft carrier is "the Boat"? My suggestion, given the facts that Bubbleheads call their fish "boats" too, some earlier aviators (or at least JCLs, just like ADM Ernest King) were dual-qualified ("winged dolphins"), is that: could it be the case of the more general intention to separate from the Shoe world with their "big guns" leaving the general term "ship" purely for them?

It just is, Max. It just is. Per usual, you're overthinking everything.

And one more.

The gloves. Look at the picture: this is the carrier qual for C2A female pilot. Why the gloves of instructor in left seat have thumb, pointer and middle all naked while the rest two fingers are covered? Well, I can easily understand middle, but what about the rest? :)

Do you have any guesses?

The U.S Navy would be so much easier to understand if they just stuck to one way of doing things!
