Girls are indeed popular with the comm/nav/radar/ecm techs. In fact, when someone in the shop had a boy we immediately attacked them for being lazy and not spending enough time playing in the RF.

any documented hazards of sitting on the radar cabinet in a p-3?

One of my old Skppers (NFO) decided to sit there on a takeoff that ended up in a runway departure. Supposedly he got tossed pretty hard.

I've also heard you can make coins stand on end on that thing due to some kind of magnetic field. Never tried it.

Wasn't that better than him not knowing where you were in the goo and the alternatives that come with that situation.........?

Yeah, for all the times I've gone lost sight in the goo, I wish I could just slide back into radar trail. :(

If you're still flying w/ a -115, you're probably ok (although those magnetrons are old and possibly not that well-shielded). If you're flying w/ a -137...well, I'd find an x-ray chest vest to sit on.

Me? I'll be duct taping steaks to the Hummer's dome. ALQ-99 - HAH! I pity the fool pushing that little power (and yes, I have your specs Brett)! Bwahahahah! Fear the frisbee! :D

Ok, well, that said, yes we have what appears to be a disproportionate number of girl children born to our folks... hmmmm... Maybe the shore tour (now) would be a good time to get to "business"... ;)

Yeah, you've probably got me on ERP in your particular band, but I also have a huge beamwidth (at least that's what the ladies like to hear), plus my signal only has to go one way. ;)
