Some great photos there. Number 8 though… So now ‘days it takes five ordies to load a Sidewinder?
I wish I could go back in time and do it all over again. I was having a beer with a neighbor tonight, we were talking about one of his nieces. She’s an EN aboard the Cole and now she's in the Med. I’d swap places in a heartbeat.
I've pulled dead birds out many times. They're a lot messier than landing gear, hook, and seat pins, but less damage. Even did a couple dead bird chalk outlines on hornet intakes with a china crayon pencil. RIP little birdies.
