The ACHO, aka "Handler" will work with the Air Department and Squadron to determine which birds are going downstairs. It's based on the wx, flight sked and maintenance needs. I've never seen TRACOM birds on the hangar deck.

Are you guys still calling him Center Ball?? Classic!! I hope HighDimension will fill us in on CB's escapades during CQs....

I think that was the CS that won out above the rest. We'll see if the next batch (May?) of boat players has any good stories. Maybe there will be some equally good ones from VT-31 :)

Don't forget the wily veterans of VAQ-209. Even aging Reservists and their equally aging jets can bag a few traps now and again!

Indeed, I even talked to a couple guys from VAQ209 over the weekend, they even told me they just came from CQ Det on CVN 77.

Couple of those bubbas were in my multi ground school class and they couldn't believe that even I knew who he was, me being an Osprey guy. Helps that I went to college with him but small world none-the-less. HighDim and MIDNJAC keep us informed.:icon_smil

Unfortunately we both leave for the RAG this Friday, so I can't help with the updates. Rumors/gossip have a long and fast arm though, don't they? :)
