A century of tailhook aviation

[nittany03]

100 years ago, "Roger Ball" was just some random dude's name. "Paddles" were something you played ping-pong with. A "trap" was the first step in making a fur coat.

The rest is history.

I'm sure Ms' Boxer and Pelosi are in mourning, due to the fact that Naval Aviation was founded in the waters around San Francisco.
Congrats on the first century, you Navy/Marine/Coastie types. :icon_zbee

I bet they can't wait for the 90+ plane flyover of San Diego.

Happy 100th Birthday!

I would say Naval Aviation began 2 moinths earlier when Eugene Ely flew a Curtiss Model D bi-plane from a platform constructed on the bow of the cruiser USS Birmingham anchored in Hampton Roads, Virginia, on November 14, 1910.

Perhaps their alleged Google Fu could help.

I will be there. Hope to see some of you there.
Their initial hope was to get 150 aircraft. Don't know the latest plan.

Oh, I agree with your post; just a minor, pedantic correction to Huggy's post. Try to keep up.
