I just have to echo the sentiments already expressed here: WOW! I have a buddy that is ex-AF (used to be stationed at Beale). I'll bet he's gonna cream himself when he sees these...

Which the USN should have taught you...

This looks like everyone on the aircraft gets to hear the music. Add just one more piece to this (a female jack for your helmet to plug IN to) and you get the music all to yourself. Especially if one of the stick monkeys up front is not progressive enough to allow tunes to played over the ICS.

This was actually pretty straightforward back in the LAMPS Mk I days. Connecting a standard SPH3 helmet to the H-2 ICS required the use of a special pigtail. It wasn't too hard to get one's hands on an extra pigtail and splice in an old headphone plug for a walkman. Inside the pigtail was 5...

Same here. What class? When? Jan - Feb 1983 for me.

I find it interesting that in the single-site for training era (all three of the above listed schools are aboard NASP), they do ARSS right after NACCS. How does that affect the AW when he/she makes his/her platform choice? When do they make that choice? During NACCS? In my day it was NACCS...

Why it's good to be in Naval Aviation? The Camaraderie: Our first stop on WESTPAC was Pearl. Two of our det's pilots went out to rent a car and came back with a Lincoln Town car, being the only ride the rental agency had left. We hit Waikiki that night making all the mandatory stops; the...

Gotta love the Mother Deuce!
