I didn't get mine from Hoover. But I do believe the initial ones were Hoover Vacuum issue.I always thought the red and white “Hoover” patches that the S-3 dudes wore were pretty freaking cool. From what I understood, those patches were obtained directly from Hoover...is that correct?
Welcome aboard. There is a great age (and experience) spread here. I was around in the late ‘80’s early 90’s and there are some guys here from much earlier. Many of the people were, as far as I can tell, winged after 2000. They don’t understand the old folk well....we don’t care.Just got outta "New Member Jail" and wondering what the extent of this community is; aviation experience, boat experience, age spread, gender spread (LOL)
Well this is my buddy Hughie Magee, he really was an A4 driver, but took a tour flying CODs (variant of an S2). Also, this is Hughie catching an okay three.Just got outta "New Member Jail" and wondering what the extent of this community is; aviation experience, boat experience, age spread, gender spread (LOL)
Well, I can appreciate that as I flew the Kittyhawk COD (1460420 from June '76 to Jan '78. "Turkey" Tucker, a former #5 of the Blues was an occasional co-pilot until the new #5 augered in at Miramar and "Turkey" got recalled to the team. Hughie might agree with what a buddy once said about S-2's "It was an easy airplane to fly but a difficult airplane to fly correctly". Single engines required an IMMEDIATE and CORRECT response!Well this is my buddy Hughie Magee, he really was an A4 driver, but took a tour flying CODs (variant of an S2).
