[H20man]

I just received this email from our class president. We are now on the Navy's list for approved flyovers for our Graduation in June.

08-0340 US Merchant Marine Academy Graduation Ceremony -- Fly Over
US Merchant Marine Academy, Kings Point [ Stadium ]

Right now we are in the process of finding a pilot/squadron contact.
I am not the Midn coordinating this, but I can put anyone interested in contact with the Midn who is coordinating with our Naval Science Department.
Just shoot me a PM.

FYI, 2005 was supposed to have one too but the school dropped the ball.

Maybe you can get this guy to do it?

Yes, Pisser's flyby is probably the best done by a US Military jet, at a football game, in the modern era. And he only got a two-week grounding. I don't know the guy, but I hear he is quit a character.

 

[Dingobat]

To know that his callsign is 'Pisser' makes it all the more awesome. Is it taboo to ask how he earned it?

Nice, looks like his hook was down, too.

I think a OH-58 bunting into Charlotte Motorspeedway was pretty good, too, but was before YouTube.

What airports, or better question, what towns are near the Merchant Marine Academy?

 

[H20man]

New York City!

We can see the skyline from our school.

This is from right outside the basin

Well, that makes it simpler.

Well, that makes it simpler.

maybe an RON at the NYC police airport (can't remember the name of it right now)...sounds like some solid potential for good times.
