And that's the reason I don't break any (major) laws... I'm too small to whip someone's ass, so I'd end up somebody's bitch...
But you are a Marine. How can that be possible? Chesty is spinning in his grave...
One of the nicknames for a flight suit is/was "zoom bag". Now takes Nose's deduction that one syllable is better than two and you have one possible answer.
Yup, we wore orange as regular Joes. We were only test pilots exploring the edge of the flight envelope, when our pilot's said, "Hey, watch this" inflight.
I can say until December of 1967 (date of my separation) orange flight suits were still worn in the fleet. I also saw orange flight suits at reserve units, PAX and AAFB, until 11 March 1970. That was the day I got my “Ruptured Duck.”
Do they still give out those things?Steve
He was a Prowler bubba, actually; think he was in 133 or 134 back in the day. Inspiration for new knuckleheads like me . . .It must be pretty sweet to be Astronaut McCool
R.I.P. guys.
Big missile for a big fighter!

Now that's a load-out! .....But we couldn't go vertical very long with that load in the older "A" model.
actually, Forrestal was also an AVT for a few months as well I believe....Shnugg, you must have been a 'vark.

You had to brief the shot in detail because of that very reason. Usually one or more of the motors would cough and separation of two aircraft could be sporting while trying to set up for restart(s). You didn't get very much time to get the shot as a consequence.
