And the legend begins...
As so it was written in the annals of the legend of MB.
Ah, the King Kat, yet another part of the lore of the legend. Generations of aspiring aviators to come will look upon his works and despair...(apologies to Shelly/Smith's sonnets (re Ozymandias))
Congrats guys! I watched some of you Meridian dudes bouncing at El Centro last week. Trust me, the next time you go to the boat it will be 10 times better- and at night! Night landings aren't that much harder until you have starboard winds and pitching deck to go with it. 
Did they still have the 3 wire stripped while you were out there? The day I left, they decided that we'd worn it out during CQ...

And for all of you that trapped aboard USS BOAT, you can now become members of Tailhook. Congrats.

What ea6bfly meant to say...
You can become a REGULAR member of Tailhook. Anyone with money can become a member... an ASSOCIATE member, but only those who have made a trap can become a REGULAR member.
The Difference..?
As a regular member you can vote for the board of directors... that's the difference.
So... all you guys be sure and join. The way we've been losing members in the past few years, I need some job security.
(The Tailhook Association has slowly been losing members, due to several reasons... the old guys are dying out and the community is shrinking... plus guys just aren't re-upping at the end of their membership, be it one, two, or three years. There is a Nugget deal for those who have just qual'd, you get a year's free membership. PLUS... [shamless plug here] four issues a year of the best Naval Aviation magazine in the world, THE HOOK)
How about THE HOOK. Crisp, clean, chock full of great phtography, history, humor, etc. It's got it all going on thanks to tireless efforts of the staff, commitment to and understanding of the heart of Naval Aviation and a certain roving managing editor.
Surely you jest. Note MB's profile (wings already in place). His legendary status is from his transition from rotary to tailhook not as an SNA, but as a 1310. Just go to his profile and slect option to view his posts. Pick a page and dig in. His saga is AW, like the Matrix, he is everywhere.
