I want to believe! Is this real? I want a backstory on this project and why they did it.

Late 70's a number of RFP's were issued for industry COD and Tanker concepts. None got beyond paper and wood mockups that I am aware of.

Those were glorious days. It was called the MMVX program or “Super Cod.” The F28 wasn’t the only type envisioned. There was the C9 (Mad Dog) style...

Too bad they didn’t consider the 747 Cod!

Would make for an even MORE epic Top Gun intro!
Flying rubber dogshit out of Hong Kong is actually a pretty good deal. You get to sleep in a good hotel instead of on the boat, you get per diem to spend on good food and drink instead of giving up your BAS (and then some) to eat boat food and not drink. You gotta be careful not to drink the water in some countries, but then sometimes on the boat the drinking water tastes like JP-5 or worse, the boat is on "water hours" and it's drinking water only and no showers...

You know, I actually would wanna fly for a VR Squadron but it's only for people already in the Navy as an aviator, I don't know if you have more information, but I would like to know more.
