"Aviator W" looks like he's a Ouija Board Pro ....

The Handler looks like he's gonna cry .... steady .... steady ....

I thought the look on the Handler's face was him thinking "OK, he turned over 603, added ordnance for 741, wait... Shit."

 

[Uncle Fester]

Either that, or the Prez just asked him a question and he's frantically trying to think of the answer.

Dubya: "So, what the hell does the orange bolts stand for?"
Handler: Orange bolt...orange bolt...shit, I should know this...

The gentleman on the left in yellow has the "oh shit whats he moving around" look

That's no gentleman, that's the handler. And they burst into tears about 4X per day, so noting new in that pic!

I just want to know where to get one of those spiffy khaki jackets...CNT?Nomex? Who cares? Wear one and dare people to tell you that the President was out of uniform...

I've got one (in the attic now). Want the NSN?

And they make others cry many times more...want something dropped to hangar bay or even worse, pulled out of middle of hangar bay to make your flight schedule?

I can only imagine how painful that is. It is bad enough with one squadron trying to get stuff done on the boat, I cant imagine multiple squadrons all competing.

haha. I didnt know so I tried to not offend by calling him "dude" or "guy". That sounds like a job that I wouldnt want.

Same thing, it's the boat against the air wing and they don't like to run the elevators or do hangar moves.

This is why the BOAT doesn't like the AirWing in the hangar ... like; we do it on purpose???

Hell, half the time, it's the boat that crunches our stuff!


I actually heard a shoe jg in the wardroom say "This carrier stuff wouldn't be so bad if we didn't have the air wing aboard."

He's probably right. It is, after all, an aircraft CARRIER.

I used to do a variation on that theme when I stayed behind in CUBI to wave Marine squadrons.

[Old R.O.]

Plus you don't have to go "bock sheep"

I didn't think VP had "sailors". What do they sail?

Wouldn't "Lubbers" be better?:icon_tong

I was looking through some pics on Fence Check and noticed that VFA-94's birds don't seem to be sporting tail codes anymore. Does anyone here know what that's about? Said pics are below...

EDIT: I couldn't get any of the pics to show up. They can be seen here at the bottom of the page.
