That's not any banjo. That's THE banjo on the banks of the Cahulawassee river (or chattooga/ tallulah gorge)

Yep. Just like baseball. A simple game where 3's are key.
Everybody - including my parents - said to be a Naval Aviator and a Fighter Pilot, one had to know math. Well, I didn't know math for crap! Much less that 'calculoss', whatever that was.
Thank God the Navy gave me an RO who could add and subtract, and an F-4 that had simple, round number fuel flows (and other simple, even numbers to suss such esoteric things)! Thus I became the best fighter pilot in the world!!!!
Tanker posit?
Yes indeed.
You should have plenty of time to read the ever enlightening ACM FTI.......I believe nearly every T-45 on the earth is sitting on the ramp at Oceana right now
Yeah man, those guys had to chase the ship half way up the coast. What a boondoggle.
Sounds like I need to do some surfing.
re:"Thank God the Navy gave me an RO who could add and subtract,"
yeah, but the math got a lot tougher for the RIO with the early tomcat software.
remember "bogey bearing +/- bogey reciprical = target aspect" ?
i think the stick even then the stick didn't have to do all that math. you just looked at the target bar and heading scale on the
VDI.

OMG, floating in the gulf, awaiting the rescue helo, I looked up and that's exactly what my SAR cover looked like. Awesome & comforting, but I was hoping not to become a witness to the most spectacular mid-air in Naval history!
Meh...worked out OK!

Would you please send me another CD of the radio transmissions that day? I loaned out the one you'd sent me and it’s never been returned.

^^ I don't suppose that CD could ever be made public/semi-private somewhere online for the rest of us? Us young ones need some inspiration from time to time, and a little history couldn't hurt.
