there are worse ways to get a callsign.

If she's fat, Captain Ahab might be in the works.
haha I want to hear some stories! i know you have them, don't hold out on us
Grandfather was an Army Air Corp pilot then an Eastern Airlines pilot (DC-3 to A300 with all the great stuff in between). My Dad has always been an aviation guy (and private pilot for a bit) and I grew up flying models of all sorts with him. My vision in the pre-laser days was sending me "navigator" and the USAF offered AWACS and tankers, Navy offered anything. Flight of the Intruder (the book, not the lame ass movie Final Countdown was the lame ass movie of my generation) had just come out and I just knew my future led to the right seat of an Intruder. All went well until winging. Number one guy got Intruders East, the rest of us (11) got Prowlers. Last class of the fiscal year and a Corry class to fill. Actually worked out better I believe. Often wonder what would have happened with modern medicine and I had the chance to have been single anchor but NFO was "berry berry good to me"
Dad was a P3 NFO, mom was an aviation maintenance officer, uncle was a P3 pilot, neighbor was a P3 pilot, tours of the flightline, squadron, tiger cruises, etc... was interested. but i really didnt decide until after applying to schools to be an architect and getting accepted to school and finding out you needed to have an art portfolio(who knew?),so... same day signed up CP for NROTC, havent looked back since. cant complain about wearing pajamas to work everyday
I'm gonna call BS on this one, we all know the judge said, "Either join the navy or go to jail." :icon_tong

Hell, I thought A4's was old enought to fly Hellcats
Like I said before I thought A4's story started with a trip to the beach in Kittyhawk NC...
...got in a bit of trouble. was either jail or flying jets in the navy 
i got a good deal.
i got a good deal.
Sort of related....I was living in Bozeman Montana for two months before I moved back to CO and enlisted in the Navy. Anyway, the guy across the street from me in BOzeman was a cranky old cuss, but always helped me work on my Jeep. Turns out he was a mech for the Flying Tigers. Good guy, lived onhis own and no family around him. Had I known then.....I would have pestered him forever; he was a walking bit of history.

Back onto the subject of fornication in millitary aircraft. I think that as far as tactical jets go, I think the backseat of a Prowler would be ideal. Brett, any stories?
Way to set us straight.
Nothing like good ole fornication to bring us all closer together!
