I can see why the Navy has to do that, st least from a PR perspective, but that really bites. The best part of the whole program is the Turbo-Weenie ride. If something changes and you do get to go, you fly for about 1 1/2 hours. Stick time varies from IP to IP. Some guys only got about a half hour. I couldn't get the guy to fly the plane pretty much from five minutes after takeoff until we entered the pattern. I hope you get to fly - it's a really good time.
