Pretty cool that Snort found a rich kid that will let him spend his money.

I didn't ask, but clearly someone/several someone's have faith enough to put what must have been a lot of money towards this.

The real question, is how do you get a job there?
I can portray a gomer jet pilot real well. Ask any of my instructors at Kingsville.

CAPT Snodgrass said he'd be looking for mostly Hornet patch wearers. No idea if he would actually find enough of those to fill the demand, but I got the feeling that he at least wanted hornet guys who know our tactics and the other classified details pertaining to the blue air side. Perhaps E-2 experience would be enough, no idea though

Based on how E-2 experience has worked with getting any flying jobs not involving the E-2D or Customs P-3s.. gonna say probably not.

That's a pretty uniformed and semi-retarded statement.

Their current flying fleet is bigger than ATACs...having worked for and flown with them, I can tell you that they have all their ducks in a row...unlike most aspiring red air companies. I understand the skepticism...many have tried only to be blocked by the FAA or State Dept.
How about an old adversary guy from the same time frame as Snort with 3000+ hours in the A-4?

Aha, looks like you're near or over the Goat Island (Isla de Cabras) initial? Made many a Weps Det. to Roosy, pounding the crap outta the Vieques ranges out of VA-44.

The Skyhawk Association is about to go digital with their Journal.
Click on "Skyhawk Test" for the current issue and some great A-4 stories and photos.

Been awhile since anyone posted here, so............was in the vicinity of NAS Ft. Worth today and stopped by. The A-4M on display is all painted up nice and shiny. The BUNO sounded familiar so I looked it up. Yep, got a few hours in it. Now I'm starting to feel old.

Thought I'd post this short vid I took of Paul Wood's vintage A-4B launching from NMKE on 22 June. The a/c was here for the Milwaukee Air & Water Show which was a total wash due to weather. It painted to represent aircraft BuNo 148609, an A-4C flown by LCDR Ted "T.R." Swartz, of VA-76, operating from USS Bon Homme Richard (CVA-31) during the Vietnam War. On May 1, 1967, LCDR Swartz shot down a MIG-17 over North Vietnam with an unguided ZUNI rocket. This was the only air-to-air kill by a Skyhawk during the Vietnam War, or so the web page says...
