I searched and couldn't find where this particular article had been posted. It has more detail than the LA Times or other articles.

Also, a check of Google Earth shows only the Blue Angels' shield painted on the hangar roof (not the other explicit paintings as alleged in the article).

Probably meant ceiling.

None of this is surprising. It is SOP for flag officers.

It was a woman who was offended. And she took down a really good man by all reports except this ONE.

Doesn't say -- but apparently all this arose out of the filing of a single complaint in March. So a single complaint has the power to bring a warrior like him down.

As a side note, he was also president of the Tailhook Association.

Ha! They should have seen the Harbor Patrol electrical shop in Danang, RVN in 1968. It was wall to wall Playboy foldouts. I’d have loved getting a “career-ending” letter.

That God this wasn’t the norm in WWII or we’d all be speaking German now.

I guarantee you the way this worked was somebody was screwing around and got caught, then tried to deflect blame by bringing up all this history. What the Navy did was take down an exceptional officer and pilot and get to discredit Naval Aviation again on charges that are totally blown out of proportion.

Well they are called cockpits aren’t they? (I am referring to the area of the plane where the pilot sits, of course)

Once again we have to go to a foreign News source to find out facts about what is going on in this country. Kudos to The Daily Mail.

Severe barf warning is right. Please tell me all that was a setup.

He’ll land on his feet. Since the USA doesn’t want him, the Chinese and Russian navies need good consultants...

I have no idea. I have read it was a woman with a vendetta for who knows what reason. She waited more than a year to accuse Captain McWherter. People who were there and know her want to know why. It is a terrible thing.
