Yeah my first skipper there got relieved for having to much fun.Man, that is sad to think about. When I deployed with them in our air wing, as an E squadron at that point, walking into their ready room was like walking into a public library. No music, no energy, just nothing. To be fair, their skipper at the time was legitimately elderly, and I heard that he shut down the notion of any noise or fun ever happening. But it was a very long way from what you probably remember. Hopefully they have gotten some fighter spirit back in the intervening years.
I don’t get the A7?Couple of old ones.
Terrain Following Radar. Fun fact the A-7 TFR program formed the basis of the terrain avoidance system in the AF MH-53 Pave Low program. The GOAT of military Helo programs!I don’t get the A7?
And the GOAT of NMC rates, as I have mentioned prior.The GOAT of military Helo programs!
The A-7 radar was great for mapping & targeting and supposedly had a Terrain Following capability.......which was marginal at best, and no pilots trusted it. The patch has a tree with the top partially cut off.....as in the radar didn't quite provide enough clearance.I don’t get the A7?
Interestingly enough, that squadron is in the same place right now. Their JOs told my JOs that the CO was pretty strict about what media could be on in the ready room, and that his policy was that you had to be actively working on something during the roll 'em.Man, that is sad to think about.
