Great videos, although the party music could be improved upon.

King Kat opening 31OCT2008

It would have been a sacrilege to christen it w/ anything else -- 'cept mebbe a CUBI Special -- but that's probably too "sticky" ...
And you KNOW you're getting "older" when a USN O-5/6 looks like "a kid" ...
GOOD JOB, boys .... keep those traditions alive.
Never forget nor let go of your Navy traditions ... 'cause they're why we're "better" ...
Good work. Final product came out pretty awesome. Should be around for a long while, just make sure it doesn't end up going by the wayside after you leave.
That's what I was wondering, too -- the follow-on care & feeding of the King Kat??? I'm glad someone else is concerned.
Example: we used to have a "nice" swimming pool @ the K-Ville O'Club. We used to have a "great" pool @ the Chase O'Club. Things have a way of disappearing down there ...
Mebbe something in the bar -- a tribute/plaque/history of/to the "origins" of the K-Kat -- a.k.a. the CUBI Cat?? Something that gets people's attention??
It's kinda like the base golf course. The fairways and greens look "good" only if the base CO is a golfer. The Kat will ONLY stay in an "up status" after MasterB is long gone IF the base CO wants it to remain what it is -- a tribute to those who came before you that you can ALL share in ....

I am writing a KingKat NATOPS/MIMS and Hook article currently.
Working on a plaque, and am fabbing up a batch of hard to make stuff for a pack up kit for when I leave.
Anyone got a NATOPS in "editable" format? Something I can change the applicable data to what the Kat is would be great.

If you've got a .PDF file of a NATOPS, we've got a full version of Acrobat (not the reader) and can make the changes you need...
I've got a NATOPS for the T-45 & T-34. MB, PM with your email and I'll send them to you.
Actually ... I was gonna' comment on the "grape" in JeepGrl's pix ... as I think lavender would be a more appropriate term.
Question: what do the lavender-shirts do on the flight deck???

Well, the "grapes" are the refuelers, correct? It's what they did on the amphib with whom I worked in the Air Division for one of my MIDN cruises...
Or are you making a distinction between "grapes" and lavender-shirts?

He's making fun of the color of the shirt they got. Doesn't look Purple, looks Lavendar. Hear that? It's the clue phone, you might want to answer it.
