Click on pic for past Navair pings. 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.
Hey Kathy! I’ll give my salute to the “Big E”! I’d love to see some pics of the old island with the funky circular top.
Please thank StarCMC for today’s thread.
Please thank tomkow6 for the heads up.

The FR Canteen is Free Republic's longest running daily thread
specifically designed to provide entertainment and moral support for the military.
The doors have been open since Oct 7 2001,
the day of the start of the war in Afghanistan.
We are indebted to you for your sacrifices for our Freedom.
My son- in - law was on the Big E twice.
For more than a century, the pinnacle of golf has been to score 59—a score that had been recorded only three times in PGA Tour history before 2010. Then, in 2010, Paul Goydos scored a 59—only to be equaled a month later by Stuart Appleby’s 59. Consequently, some sportswriters speculated that the most coveted achievement in golf was now becoming commonplace! It’s amazing to see two 59s in the same season, but it would be a mistake to begin to view this as ordinary.
For those who follow Jesus Christ, it is also a mistake to view the remarkable as ordinary. Think about prayer for instance. At any moment we can talk to the Creator God who spoke the universe into existence! Not only are we welcomed into His presence, but we are invited to enter boldly: “Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need” (Heb. 4:16).
There is nothing ordinary about access to God—yet sometimes we take this privilege for granted. He is almighty God, but He is also our Father who loves us and allows us to call on Him at any moment of any day. Now that’s extraordinary!

An eyewitness account of the Battle of Midway.
And the IMDB listing of the movie depicting the battle.
The USS Enterprise certainly has earned it's place in history.
Cool post!
Ooo...we’re very pastel tonight! It must be....Easter!!!...around the corner!
Thanks, Galz, for the story of this incredible line of ships! They DO seem to take on personalities of their own!

I have only a few memories of my father but knowing he was a part of the Enterprise's history always made her special to me.
It's breaking my heart she is being decommissioned. It's like losing another part of my dad.
This is the final voyage of the Warship Enterprise, whose mission is to go where ever in the world she wants!
Back when I was in the Navy, stationed on carriers, I used to list the classes of carriers as such (back in the 90’s):
Midway class, CV-41, 42, 43
Forrestal class CV-59, 60, 61, 62
Kitty Hawk class CV 63, 64, 66
Nimitz class CVN-68 - up
and the Experiment, Enterprise CVN 65 (let’s see if we can build a nuke carrier)
and the Bastard Stepchild, John F. Kennedy CV-67 (supposed to be the first of the class of nukes, but Congress wanted to save money.)
Good morning, Canteen. Good morning to our
Military, our Allies, and their families.
THANK YOU for all you do.
Thank you, Star, for preparing the Canteen for today’s activities.
When I saw the title I thought you meant

Someone had shot a nutria (Muskrat), and it was floating dead in the water. I can't believe what this eagle did to bring that nutria in.
I never saw an Eagle doing a breast-stroke before.
