^ His cousin, Roy, used to greet me in the VF-213 Ready Room w/ a similar gesture when I'd show up to debrief his pass ... :D


Note: Johnny Cash was actually Roy's Uncle, but had a keen interest in his nephew's career showing up at key moments in his advancement through the ranks, but shunning any attention.

Speaking of firearms, LT Roy Cash was only fighter pilot from VF-33 to bag a MiG over North Vietnam while flying from USS America during CVW-6 Combat Deployment in 1968. He later served as Commodore of Fighter Wing One at NAS Oceana, as last of the MiG Killer Commodores. He was larger than life and a card-carrying member of the NTU Rod and Gun Club whose members still serve in following generations. He also hailed from Memphis, had a singing voice and wasn't shy about picking up a mic.

Trivia note: his daughter Kellye was Miss America 1987.

In the ol' days, the "conventional wisdom" (or whatever it was ... ) said that a "GUARANTEED" DFC could be had by the simple expediency of keying the mic and broadcasting the following over tactical frequency at the moment of truth:

"I'm HIT, but I'm rollin' in anyway .... !!! " :eek::eek::eek::eek:

I never tried it ... but I guess that's a "gun quote" of sorts ...

A female friend of mine sqeaked this out racking the slide of my 870 while I taught her how to shoot skeet not too long ago... pretty funny, at the time. Maybe you have to see the movie.
