Thanks for the pictures, sir. I was out there with TW-2. Good times had by all.

Nice, and congrats! You can't beat a San Dog boat det. If any of you hookers are still in town tomorrow night, give me a shout....wifey is going out of town and I'll prob be wandering around Coronado. Either way, congrats! Anyone fly -122? That was an especially good jet

 

[Uncle Fester]

Bingus is a shooter now? Did not know that.

Thanks man, it was a lot of fun. We're all back home now though. Didn't get too much time to celebrate, but really I don't know how much more celebration my liver could have handled.

Who's the lucky stud who got to CQ in the CONA bird?

 

[Tom]

My guess would be someone senior enough to pick the jet and be a lead safe. Notice the guy in back.

 

[armada1651]

One of the TW-1 Opso's, I think? Not sure if he was 7, 9, or wing. The Nimitz newspaper had an article about the jet Saturday morning.

 

[SynixMan]

That's what I figured but cool. Sweet bird...

 

[phrogdriver]

More hookers? As always, the follow-up question,"Does this mean more blow?"

 

[bunk22]

I'm probably biased but I think the Kingsville bird looks better with it's black and silver paint job.
