So what movie are you going to make?
My money's on it being a grainy video that shows up on Youtube and involves a Mexican burro, a midget, and fifteen pounds of Crisco. Not sure if that counts as a "movie" though...
So what movie are you going to make?
Complete bullshit. Enjoy your fantasies ... but you're dealing w/ guys who have "been there" on this forum: ATTACK, FIGHTER, "Q", PATROL, HELO, "LOG", single seat, multi-crew, front seat, back seat, left seat, right seat; in fact ... ALL the seats that sit behind the main CB panel. What year did you say you got YOUR Navy Wings of Gold .... ???Traditionally, only the top performers in Basic NFO flight training would be selected for the fighter (RIO) Advanced training pipeline. There was a natural symmetry there because only the top student pilots were selected for fighters also.
It SHOULD be noted that this is ALSO complete bullshit, especially during the "tactical jet" time frames when we've been flying the "E-2 and EA-6B" ... unless you can direct me to the squadron and year(s) you claim this happened OR unless you're talkin' V/STOL "LSO's" ... then mebbe if we're talkin' semantics ... but why would those 'Rons have an "NFO" in a squadron billet, serving as LSO ... (?) ... then I'll eat it. And for the record, I worked w/ USMC LSO's quite a bit and "beached" the head USMC LSO at one time ....... It should be noted here that although tactical jet NFOs once served as squadron Landing Signal Officers (LSOs), this particular position has been filled exclusively by pilots for some time ... the E-2 and EA-6B NFO communities -- I flew alongside them for years
Also complete bullshit -- this time, just in one man's opinion -- as you should speak to the A-6 B/N's who were former "experienced fleet attack pilots who had lost their pilot status" .... unless, of course -- once again, you would care to point out years, former attack communities, and/or names via PM ... then I "might" entertain your fantasies AND eat my words ........ when I was in VT-86, three experienced fleet attack pilots who had lost their pilot status for visual reasons wound up in the (then) RIO syllabus as they wanted to become Fighter RIOs. A few weeks in, they told anyone who would listen that it was by far the most difficult flying training they had ever experienced. The VT-86 RIO pipeline had at that time the highest attrition rate in the Naval Air Training Command......
Roger that; I was just tryin' to give him some "wiggle room" ...He wasn't talking V/STOL LSOs, or if he was he's even more out to lunch- I've yet to hear of an NFO in the Harrier community!
...blah, blah...first post..... It should be noted here that although tactical jet NFOs once served as squadron Landing Signal Officers (LSOs),blah blah
I liked FOTI.. Hey, it inspired a certain thing to be brought back..
No but I have been known to Upper-Deck DH and above bathrooms.
I would much rather be a BN than a RIO. How many BN's dropped ordnance in combat? How many RIO's shot down MIG's in combat? Retorical question. "Fighter pilots make movies, bomber pilots make history"
Roger that; I was just tryin' to give him some "wiggle room" ...
Again, I will eat shit & howl at the moon if I'm wrong ... but I "KNOW" the LSO community.
The old joke was "Fighter pilots make movies, attack pilots make bad movies."
