VT-4 was still great in the early '80's when I went through as a retread. T-2's and A-4's: gun pattern over the Gulf, bombing and strafing at the Eglin ranges, the ASDO was responsible for getting intracoastal reports every afternoon so we could decide if we wanted to go water skiing and also call in for tee times if the jets weren't cooperating; debriefs at the Flora-Bama....great times were had by all.
