Post or FReepmail me if you wish to be enlisted in or discharged from the Navair Pinglist.
The only requirement for inclusion in the Navair Pinglist is an interest in Naval Aviation.
This is a medium to low volume pinglist.
I really hate to sound like a grump on this topic, but I think we should go back to naming ships after historical figures after they are, well... history.
I will concede the case that in the case of Reagan, the point could be made that he was in his twilight years and was probably not even aware of the great honor being done to him and his name. But in this case?
There’s just something a bit too vain about naming a ship of that power after a living ex-President. And don’t even get me started on Jimmy Carter. I was IN the Navy when he was President.
Naming a garbage scow after him would have been too much, let alone a submarine.
i saw the film on this today - it really warmed my heart to see George Bush so proud of his father and to be able to be there with him musta really made his day!
