Mt. Pinatubo: Operation Fiery Vigil to evacuate the island's AMCITS via carrier.

.."and this is how I pick up the Admiral's dry cleaning at the exchange, and set up his official travel..." Methinks a very good idea to stick to the flying stuff. :)

Sounds awesome. Congrats. Is he gonna like your job if you're still an EA?

"I'm not being defensive...You're being defensive!!!!"

Flame----out

I have ab Aardvark helmet just like the one in the lower right of the case...the good old days.

That's It!!! Take a week off!!!! :)

Everything they "offer" for just $25 a year, can be found via the WWW through the VA or AMVETS, and your Fleet and Family Service Centers. I see no value added.

Friday afternoon hop... I flew an intermediate T-34C hop...way back when...with a former F-14 driver who could only fkly non-ejection seat aircraft now due to an ejection (or two). We badly beat up on a C-2 driver doing tailchase and then flew a great low level. Landed, did the maintenance...

Relay in a Hornet can be entertaining when Radio 2 rants get broadcast on Tower around the boat.

I'll be taking the SOC at NFWS in July. We'll see how it goes. Schnugg USNFWS Jun '90

Stuck mic: Those that have, and those that will. I have had. But thankfully not like this.

If finances threaten to be a mess. Navy Relief is a band-aid option. It will be a very low interest loan that you'd pay back when you finally get your pay un-f#$&ed. Beats ruining credit which can lead to other bad things happening to you...

This comes highly recommended. Not spam and well worth signing up for.

Cool.

Gotta love NYC. "We've been going about this all wrong. This Mr. Stay Puft's okay! He's a sailor, he's in New York; we get this guy laid, we won't have any trouble! " - Peter Venkman, Ghostbusters

I just got the e-mail too. A little late notice for me on the east coast. Maybe some day I'll pass by and check it out.

Standby for the posts... I know that Tailfin flash, too.

That's what the Shake and Bake testing the jets go through at PAX is for...to prove it can take that kind of abuse.

I know a guy that went SEAL to Hornet pilot. Callsign: Pappy. Hell of a guy.

You should shut your pie-hole.

This may be the problem.

POTUS and Mrs POTUS live in the bubble. Any delay is unacceptable to their staff.

Erik Hildebrandt is good people. I have the book and it is great. I was talking with Erik about it just last week. Get yourself a copy.

Excellent point. AOB also has a minimizing effect on the ejection envelope.

Standard forum rules apply. No speculation or names. Links to press reporting is okay.

This man, my father-in-law, received two DFC while flying Spooky 13 every night for several years in Vietnam. He was also overhead during the Tet Offensive. He's never been one to brag and keeps the medals in a case on a shelf. He'd only bring it out if you specifically ask. A humble man...

Please ask him to log in here and start posting. We'd be glad to "help."

I did a burner go in an F-14D at Reno Stead after the air races. High DA on a hot humid day, means that little caveat about best judgement in NATOPS came into play. Restriction in place: AB it was. Nice....

Here you go BzB. Quite a story.

What effect were they trying for at 4:16 besides Phantom meets rock. This is one of those videos where I wait for the inevitable fireball...glad I didn't see it here.

Worse yet...landing on the boat with spolier brake selected and getting those puppies locked up for all to see as the wings swept coming out of the LA. Checklists, checklists, checklists....

We had a rash of wing sweep motor failures in the late 80s early 90s that caused the wings to freeze where they were, often aft somewhere. Luckily not asymmetrically. Cool pic.

Yes.

I'm not a TPS grad but I have collected a couple of engine out data points in an F-14D...

Ed did you ever fly with VF-301 or work on NAS Miramar in the late 80s?

Do this NOW!!! Do not delay. They will be your advocate and know the difference between medical discharge, medically retired and medically disabled, etc... I used the DAV. They are your friends and on your side, the Big navy is not.

Don't do it!!!! You will become a massive heat sink. JO Law of Thermodynamics....

Welcome. Did some work at Calverton in the early 90s. The name is familiar.

The kind of news I like to hear!

Best quote: "We don't want to get nailed from behind." Nice landing. Not a calm as the Lancair IFE video, but certainly much faster from start to finish.

His whole profile is "." so he's done.

Glad I'm retired.

No comment. You can only tie the record.

Working up for deployment at Fallon when it started. Deployed on the Lincoln into the Gulf as cease fire was called. Still a pretty hot zone. Pretty sure i took the picture below.

Just plain sad.

When dealing with the recruiter make sure he understands you want to be an officer. Be politely persistent and follow through with whatever he asks you to do, but don't become pestering. A lot of times you will find yourself doing what the recruiter could possibly do for you, just do it. Keep...
