Santa doesn't need any help.....

I dunno.... I'm no LSO, but it looks like: NEPIM, NER, CDIC, No Grade!
[Not enough power in the middle, not enough reindeer, come down in close!]
Santa's the ace of the base, but maybe he gotta feed those reindeer more hay!


PS: Line-up looks good.

Having had nothing to add about the boat I've kept my mouth shut and watched, but wow, I didn't see that plot twist coming. Nice to see the Navy save Santa's bacon.

If Jake were a Marine in this story, you think he would get credit for a "Toy's for Tot's" stint?

 

[Harrier Dude]

Didn't this exact scenario actually happen (bolter to fatal mishap, not Santa Clause getting help from a tailhooker) about 10 years ago in a T-45? My old boss was the senior Marine and went back for the funeral.

Something about a blown tire.

Yes. Blown right main mount on cat shot. Ship decided to trap him. Boltered and on the go the drag from the right main mount yawed the aircraft to the right and as he went off the angle, the aircraft impacted the left side of the bow.

Are you talking about Shakes' mishap? That was more like 13 or so years ago.

I was having withdrawl symptoms. A little hit of AW calmed the pulse and cold sweats!!

I'd be very interested in reading your book. If you PM the details I'll look for it.
