Cool!

Sure were! My squadron VA44, hangar 67, Cecil Field.

So was BzB! He was a bubblehead ET.

Old? Crap Griz, I can't even tell you how many times I worked the deck of the Lex when I was in VA-44.:)

I bumped into another "Skeeterman" yesterday in a local store. He came into the shop right after me and I noticed he had on a ball cap and a jacket with all sorts of naval aviation patches. I said hello and told him I noticed his patches and told him that I was also ex-naval aviation and where...

Bah humbug! :)

I'd like access.

Years ago I rebuilt some roads on the base. One day while working on a road that bordered the river we watched as someone paddled a boat from Virginia to the base. We chatted when he docked and he said he did that everyday rather than drive up to the "Woodie" and then down Indian Head Highway to...

I worked her deck many times, when I was in VA-44 we qualed on her all the time. I'm really showing my age.:)

I've been a member since 2005 and I miss some of the older posters that are no longer around; a4sforever (Can't give you his name), BZB604 (Hugh Magee), RonDebMar (Ron Marron), and many others. Met some members in person. Oh... and I miss crawling all over A4 Skyhawks?.

Me... A 67 Healey 3000. What a car! (I know I'm showin' my age. :))

Really great photos Ike. Thanks for posting!

Now I am showing my age. I can't even tell you how many times the 47 was my cab ride. Even went to Yuma from Cecil on a 47 once, what a trip.;)

I thought some of you would get a kick outta this. I just saw a company pickup truck with the company name "Deck Heads" on the side.

"The Old Stone House Inn"? I don't know if it's still open, I haven't been there in years. Gladchucks is where I frequent now.

Barbara Fritchie's is now a used car lot. Masser's (next door) is still there though, and the food there is still the same. Barbara Fritchie's was run by the same folks until it closed, not just the pies, but all the food was cooked right there, and it was always great!

I miss the Snow White Grill, the White Star, and of course the Barbara Fritchie on the Golden Mile.

I shoulda, coulda posted this: https://www.google.com/search?q=skeeterman&oq=&aqs=chrome.1.69i59i450l2.2175766080j0j15&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 and this: https://www.airwarriors.com/community/threads/skeeterman-returns.41364/

I was just being facetious. But what fun it'd be to have another "Skeeterman" type start posting here again!:) https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Skeeterman

Another Skeeterman? (I'm just being facetious.)

A case of Miller Lite.:)

Not in my day! Now I'm really gonna show my age. I can't even count the times I worked the deck of the Lady Lex. Some of you other old farts know what I'm talkin' 'bout.:)

Sorry. I meant "Got it" Gatordev.

Gotcha!

I no longer have access to Warzone.

Me too! I Played all of them.

My favorite games were by Sierra (yup I'm old), my first was:

Ah yes, the Woodie! When I was chief engineer for Shirley Contracting I had to cross her twice a day. I lived in Upper Marlboro and Shirley's home office was on Quaker Lane in Alexandria, quite a trip some days.

Yuma for bombing practice. San Luis 'cross the border was fun! (Don't tell my Mommy on me.)

Nothing but class dates and test scores, we need some fun! :)

Skeeterman? Should've sent him over here. :)

See this old thread: https://www.airwarriors.com/community/threads/hudn.12840/

You betcha!:)

I was just trying to be facetious. (The cover photo:))

Huh?

Um... in my time...... we wore them.:) Scroll this page: http://www.salimbeti.com/aviation/equipment1.htm

That's for sure! My friends and I used to go there all the time when I lived in Upper Marlboro, great food and a simple down to earth atmosphere. (Man I'll bet 301 traffic sucks now!)

Shit... my first computer was an IBM XT with two 51/4" drives.:)

1965--Onboard USS SARATOGA Another 35 photo.

This is our AW buddy Ron Marron packing the heat we carried back in our time. (Yeah, it was a few years ago.):)

They were everywhere during my time. This is my buddy/our AW buddy, Ron Marron:
