Yeah. No shit, Sherlock.

Did you ever call "CLARA" while flyin' the pass(es) ???

I'm certain you did ...

Goin' along for the sake of discussion: did PADDLES ever respond to your "CLARA" call ???

If they did and could "see you", they should have told you "PADDLES CONTACT, keep it coming, I've got you" or words similar .... I've waved in similar situations on more than one occasion and that's the way it all went down. Everyone got aboard -- safely -- no problems and no "controlled ejections" hypotheticals alongside the ship. Otherwise ... they were MIA/AWOL on the PLATFORM. I'm havin' a hard time believing any 27-C or any Vietnam-era PLATFORM could be that incompetent ... are you certain you're "remembering" it as it went down ... ???

If YOU took two (2) of your own W/O's w/out any COMM w/ PADDLES during the first, between the two, and during/after the second ... ???

Like I say; hard to believe ....

If PADDLES was that out of the loop/incompetent -- they should have been relieved, post haste....

If YOU took two (2) uncommanded, own-W/O's on my BOAT ... when you finally got aboard, I'd ground your sorry ass UFN.

After the debrief, of course ...



Pilots don't "own" the pattern ... I do. At the minimum, I lease it from the BOSS ....

Rant on, A4s...rant on!!

While in flight, I own the airplane...and my ass!! And don't you forget it...

No rant, just the facts of wavin' & flyin' at the BOAT, Bruddah. At least on any BOAT I ever flew/waved ... and w/ full support of CAG, all the squadron CO's, and the CO of the BOAT.

However, you would have had ample time sitting SDO in your RR to figure out who "owns" the pattern after I or any of my LSO's had grounded your sorry ass. Again ... just the facts.

Hey, man ... you PM'ed me wanting my "thoughts" on your post: you got 'em. If you want to argue the point(s); go argue them w/ someone else. Don't shoot the messenger ...

Who "owns the pattern" at the ship??? I guaran-fucking-tee you it ain't you.

Hoo boy...fight's on.

No fight; just a "discussion" about BOAT "stuff" ...

A discussion the LSO always wins.

And as always, the FO's will pop the popcorn and settle in. With a timely "I thought he looked good on the PLAT, Paddles" thrown in just for agitation's sake.

"I thought he looked good on the PLAT, Paddles" thrown in just for agitation's sake.

How much did the CAPC pay you to say that?

 

[A4sForever]

....the FO's will pop ... in .... (w)ith a timely "I thought he looked good on the PLAT, Paddles" thrown in....

Right ... and always a GREAT way to "promote" your pilot.

One/two stink-eyed looks from PADDLES and/or the subject pilot during the debrief would usually relegate such PLAT LSO'in to the realm of the excrement that it was/is and .... such peanut gallery comments rapidly went the way of the dinosaur ... and w/ good reason.

Think of us as the rodeo clowns, trying to distract angry steers to allow the cowboy a respite. (insert joke about NFO's and clowns here...I know somebody's dying to)

Anyway, what the fuck's Paddles going to do to me...give me a shit-stain on the greenie board? :icon_tong

....Anyway, what the fuck's Paddles going to do to me...give me a shit-stain on the greenie board? :icon_tong

If the stink-eye were not enough ... w/ future "implied guilt by association" for your pilot and his landing grades (?) ... if you have no shame and continue to poke the bear while continuing to fornicate w/ the PLAT ... and if, like Lott's wife, you refuse to look away ...

The LSO could turn you into a pillar of salt.

Or, more simply ... The LSO could just smite you w/ the power of his PLATFORM sunshine ...

 

[Catmando]

'Tis far better to rant against the LSO in the privacy of your stateroom than in his presence, or in public where he may hear later of your rant.

So it is written, so shall it be done.... even if the slime-ball did give you a flippen "fair" on a rails, OK3 pass!

Also, I always wondered why my RO always conveniently 'disappeared' for the LSO debrief, but were always back for the movie.

 

[Uncle Fester]

I loved to stick around for the LSO debrief, though all bullshit aside, I kept my mouth shut. And if they start trying to stinkeye me..."Your Jedi mind tricks will not work on me, Paddles..."

Slight threadjack, but is this where the popcorn thing originates from? It's freaking everywhere here......sim building, student ready room, war room, other ready rooms, etc. I've never seen so many random popcorn machines spread through a single office/building in my life. God help the poor SDO who lets the popper run out of popcorn midway through their watch....it's serious business

You don't find it an extraordinarily tasty treat?

Way back, I was on a TACAN approach to the One Nothing Maru when she runs into a heavy rain shower. I was in an AD-5W and as I approached minimums turned the windshield wiper on and it doesn't work. I can't see a thing and now I've got cock in the smokepit. I report popeye and smoke and the LSO says "Keep it coming. You sound good." I elected to wave off. Coming down wind, the ship had moved out of the shower and the smoke had pretty much dissipated so I came around the pattern and got aboard. Later the LSO said that the wave off was probably the prudent thing to do since he never saw me on that pass. And yes, the smoke was generated by the burning windshield wiper motor.
