What department were you in on TR? I was there too (87 to 90). I remember the guy cut in half in the prop, so it had to be ‘87. I think it was an E2C Hawkeye though. A minor detail since they are basically the same plane. Absolutely no difference to the guy killed of course.
I was an EW in OPS Department from Aug 87 to Dec 90.
It was actually spring of ‘88
