You fighter guys sure have short fuzes. We attack guys, on the other hand, pride ourselves on being suave and debonaire in the face of ignorance.

According to him, I "stole" the cruise "Top Hook" award from Chris Weutrich (sp?) with a 3.75 average landing grade. No bolts and no "no grades" the entire cruise. It was magical.

By the way, welcome to the proud group of retired Naval Aviators whose "steeds" have been retired...those lawn darts will never replace us.

Freegards...a6intruder

Dropped a sentence...sorry. Insert this after first comment.

When were you in VF-143? I did a Med cruise with them in CVW-1 on JFK in the late 70's.

As a former LSO, I would need to see your tapes to comment.

But, who could not land that slow sucker? It aint like you had a lot of trouble seeing out of that greenhouse-nose at high alpha, nor were you saddled with engines that turned against you at the worst possible moment.

But yes, short fuzes is why fighter guys rarely get beyond Capt in this man's Navy, and RIOs and other pukes are driving the CVNs these days.

But you want us on that CAP, you NEED us on that CAP. YOU CANT HANDLE THE TRUTH!

Whoops, I left out 2 years in RAG instruction. It was forgettable.
