just amazing and sad... my dad, a ww2 vet and most of his generation had no idea. i think it was the mid '60's when the first warnings started showing up.

Along the same lines, Tour de France in the 20s... These were athletes actually participating in the pinnacle event of their sport.

Agree! I feel very honored that I had the opportunity to work in a RR - quite an education!

Nicotine is an analgesic, after all.

And here I was, thinking an expensive dinner and two bottles of wine was the ticket...

Heading into harm's way, North Vietnam, the warm summer of '72....

Truth be told, they're French and I think they actually run on cigarettes.

I don't think "analgesic" means what you think it means... Just 'cause it has "anal" in it...

for the 'truder dudes

With additional ordnance pylons, more powerful engines, new radars and digital avionics. Three pre-production prototypes built at a cost of $220 million each in 1987. The third aircraft was flown for a total of 2 1/2 hours before the program was canceled.

I think the a-6f was actually intended to be an operational weapon system test bed for the A-12 system, 'stealthy power projection'.

One of the three is now at the Grumman museum in Long Island, NY. Pics here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/25695066@N00/3638102487/in/photostream/

What's funny is that every time I see one of these "old" jets, their BuNos are still younger than any P-3 I've flown. Funny in a tragic way.

 

[flaps]

i think the last p-3 was delivered in 1990, about the time the a-6f's were being evaluated at calverton , ny.

as an aside, there is one b-52 that was flown by a grandfather, son and grandson.

I saw the B-17 as it landed & later thought I saw an HU-16 (Albatross) headed 18o over the bay. Was there an event at the Pensacola Airport yesterday?
