Alright, got it. Was thinking 2 moves to correct rather than 3.

Thanks again

 

[TheBubba]

Add to this list "Am I too fat for pilot?"

 

[nittany03]

Wow. Rep explosion. Thanks, all. Now I just gotta go out and DO what I just regurgitated.

Best analogy I ever heard was merging into traffic on the highway.

1. Lots of gas to accelerate into the flow,

2. Back off the gas so you don't hit the guy in front of you

3. A bit back on to match speeds

I think the I-5 merging SOP incorporates only the first rule...

Well, take some pictures please......

Well further north on I-5, you have to include the other 2 . . . because half the WA drivers are cowards who insist on going 5 UNDER the speed limit on a clear dry day. :banghead_

And they stay in the left lane too!

A full day without a Stupid Question? Wow...

So here's one (or two). The "World Famous" often tagged onto squadron names. I've been told that it actually means something - the squadron has been on a 'round the world cruise. Anyone know if that's true?

And how about "Fighting," as in the VAW-78 "Fighting Escargots"?

I am pretty sure that VT-27, The "World Famous" Boomers haven't been on an around the world cruise. I could be wrong though.

HEY!!! You-all smile when you say that, Pilgrim.

VA-165 "BOOMERS" (don't know @ world famous -- but a VT with the moniker of "Boomers":icon_lol: ... I smirk )

VA-95 "World Famous" Green Lizards (not officially w/f, but we always called 'em that ...)

VA-192 "World Famous" Golden Dragons (hey, do you suppose - maybe it's got something to do with reptiles ... ???)

More later if/when I finish my Bloody Mary ...

 

[MasterBates]

Boomers (VT-27) weren't around in your day A4s?

 

[A4sForever]

Boomers (VT-27) weren't around in your day A4s?

They were in Corpus, flying the TS-2A -- advanced multi-engine syllabus -- if memory serves. They had recently been relocated from New Iberia prior to that NAS closing.

The first "BOOMER" squadron I became aware of was VA-165. VT-27, while perhaps calling themselves "Boomers", was most certainly NOT "world famous" and did not "boom" much, either.

When I was there, we boomed a lot. Mostly at the Corpus O' Club...

 

[BACONATOR]

Boom Boom.


That is all.
