Started in VF-111 in 76, TG in 81, -126 for 2 years, Demo, then -143 until War College. I fly for Delta now, when they can afford the gas.
Sounds like you were YG 71 or 72? I was YG 68. Wings in 70, A-4s at NTU for 2 years then A-6 RAG. VA-35 followed by RAG instructor, followed by VA-34. Then MATWING staff, War College and XO/CO tour of VC-6 at Norfolk. Then navigator, JFK and a tour at CINCLANTFLT as a CAPT and got my "Thank you for your service..you can go home now" letter from the SERB board. Defense contractor locally since then.
I do Delta from Norfolk to Tampa a couple times a year and the occasional Ft Lauderdale. Are you an east coast route kinda guy?
(yeah, I know I need that CAP, but you gotta admit you needed that good old KA-6D too)
Warm regards....a6intruder
