Said no one ever. Maybe many years ago, today it's very tired iron. The 6 hour+ preflight is a daily occurrence. Do we complete the mission...yes....after hours of troubleshooting and multiple plane swaps.

I retired in 1996--19 years ago. So yeah, by now she's tired iron.

This is like the marching band having a fight with the glee club.
Still better than hearing the two ugly girls at the bar talk about which one is prettier (prowler vs growler threads!)

Too bad no one from VP would have even made it to the bar though to hear that conversation, they would have passed out after trying to preflight with a box of wine and a bag of chips they picked up at the Class Six after sitting the 4-hour ready all day.
The fat kid that knows karate, that is how I heard Prowlers described in the RAG.
Shrug. I garner I have spent more time on deployment in bars and drinking adult beverages than my compatriots on USS HAZE GREY AND UNDERWAY... Choose your rate choose your fate and all that. Plus every time I had a det to Fallon we landed after the air wing but were already into multiple beers at the end of the bar before they showed up! You can have your "karate"

Haze gray and underway, what's that? I have a grand total of 5 days underway on active duty, 7 if you count my midshipman cruise! And bragging about beating the Air Wing to the bar in Fallon is a bit like bragging about kissing your cousin, of course you also probably beat us to 'Pigs in Space' as well so.....
I thought you had moved up in the world and now drank only Mai Tai's and other fancy drinks.
That's usually on my south American and Caribbean lay overs
I am currently on a craft beer kick, and working my way down the craft beer aisle at Total Wine.
Was in a Total Wine for the first time a month ag0...........it confused and scared me, so I went to the ABC and bought a bottle of Scotch. On a side note, this has probably already been asked and answered, but why no MAD boom on the P-8? Is MAD outdated technology or is it done with different sensors?
