I can't speak for the -65, as I know they use their AFCS a little differently, but for the -60, you just let the computer do its thing. It's not even noticeable, really, when you take a load on.

Do visiting squadrons still use the "hot pad" building when they're on det there? Spent two weeks working out of there in '90.

Not sure what the "hot pad" is, but we just had a few briefing spaces in the hanger pictured...
Choke yourself.
I expect that, at some times during the year, NASs KW, El Centro and NFL have the highest base loadings of anywhere…must be nice/fun.
Especially nice/fun for the Fallon/Reno area gambling 'dens of iniquity'!
Old Timers will remember Ma's Roadside Inn Restaurant/Mini-Casino in Fallon NV. Epic photo of "Ma's Mob", a VA-125 FRS Wpns Det. Class 1-A at NAAS Fallon circa 1965. Casino owner 80-y/o 'Ma' in A-4 cockpit top center. IP BzB - next to Ma on right.

If "Ma" is the same "Mom" that I recall from the next decade, I seem to recall an "ALNAVAIR" MSG that went out when Mom died (date unrecalled…late '70's?) announcing her death and giving a well-deserved tribute. Also seem to recall an Air Wing flyover from whichever CVW was at NFL at the time of her funeral. I wasn't there…but swear I saw photos. Different times…she may have been Naval Aviation's version of Pancho Barnes of "Happy Bottom Riding Club" fame at Muroc AAF/Muroc AFB/Edwards AFB decades earlier.
There was another honored with an ALNAVAIR MSG…Celia...of the Cubi Point Officers' Club. Again, a very different time.

In that first flightline pic it's the small rectangular building on the far left.
R1, yes, I believe that was the same Mom you mention.
Another notable Casino/Squadron relationship was between Reno's Riverside Hotel owner Mrs. Jessie Beck, and the late LCDR Dick Perry of VA-164 in the mid-'60s.
LCDR Perry, a native Nevadan, met Jessie while on a Fallon deployment and he was sort of adopted, along with all his squadronmates, by the casino owner. As time went on, at a visit to the squadron at Fallon, Mrs Beck was honored at an all-hands ceremony presenting Dick Perry's AE-407 with a large LADY JESSIE painted in VA-164 orange on both sides of the fuselage. Prior to their '67 combat cruise, many "GhostRider" all-hands social functions were hosted by Lady Jessie & the Riverside during their Fallon deployments.
Sadly, LCDR Perry was hit by a SAM on 31 August '67, and KIA. Lady Jessie later traveled to Lemoore to attend a memorial service for the fallen aviator. Following his loss, the LADY JESSIE lettering was transferred to A-4F AH-401, and adorned the Skipper's Skyhawk until VA-164 disestablished in 1975.
Yes, I fondly remember Celia, longtime Server in the Cubi Club, and the delicious Chicken Adobo, Lumpia, "painted label" San Magoo and Cubi Specials she served. I recall years ago, gladly contributing to a fund to help with her cancer treatment, in a battle she sadly lost.
