Growler Visit to the Cradle of Naval Aviation

In their defense though, the Air Force LFE's and Red Flags are pretty good training.

Much to learn Grasshopper

Good thing there's no "negative rep" anymore - you might've walked right into some there

That and the over use of "in-container". I always argued, what does Microsoft Outlook say.....I believe the word is IN-BOX!

Ironically, I think the most obscenity I have ever heard during a brief was from a room full of AF dudes at Nellis during an LFE brief. But they would be damned if they called the 4808 "the box"

I didn't say dealing with the Air Force was fun, I just said their exercises are good (much more thorough flights from planning to execution for us as Growler crews at least).

Cheers!

Thorough doesn't always equal quality or realism. A thorough and complicated taxi sequence plan doesn't make an LFE. Look forward to NFL, but first, have fun in Pensacola. Go by the museum and pay some respect to the Big Jammer

Hahahahahahaha...first time I've heard that.

Don't be seduced by the nice golf courses and model rocket SAMs. They still wear scarves and flair to land.

It's the British spelling.......that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Your visit made the notes of our flight schedule. The word is out, you could have a pretty big turnout...

Goes to prove the statement: if AirWarriors knows, the Navy knows.

More thorough than what flights, in your experience?

Frankly, as interesting as a Flag or ME phase can be, they don't know dick about how to employ VAQ. Any LFE is good training, but nothing compares to Airwing NFL for how you will actually employ in the real world.
