Except when there is a golf tournament at Torrey Pines....
The US Open is the bane of my existence right now. It's my finals week and there is no parking on campus because the school decided to allow the spectators to use some of the lots. PGA Tour... I'll get you, just you wait.:icon_rage

Old R.O.'s Dad's Picture of the Day for 12 June 2008
Not one that I took, but my late Dad did on his 1979 Tiger Cruise.
My brother was an AT1 in VAQ-131 for the cruise and talked Dad into flying over to Spain and catching USS America back to ConUS.
As the Tigers were being welcomed on board and were walking across the hangar deck, my dad noticied that some of the older and less fit Tigers were having trouble walking just that short distance. Dad commented to my brother, "How are all of these old guys going to make it up and down ladders and such for the next week?"
My brother did not have the heart to tell my Dad, that at 70, he was the oldest person on the boat -- and had absolutely no problem with ladders and knee-knockers for the week he was on board America.
Dad was in the Navy in WW II, but spent the war teaching at Norman, Okla, at the Aviation Machinist's Mate school he was supposed to be attending after San Diego Boot Camp. He was a school teacher and had a vocational degree, so they snatched him up to teach.

Old R.O. Picture of the Day for 15 June 2008
Pair of VF-301 F-4S Phantom IIs in the original paint jobs before the Heater-Ferris camo "makeover."
These aircraft were part of the first batch of Navy F-4S aircraft delivered (the Marines got the first F-4S Phantoms off the North Island mod line). They were assigned to VF-21 and VF-154 and were swapped one-for-one for the Reserves' F-4Ns after it was determined that the F-4S could not safely operate from USS Coral Sea (CV-43) because of the added approach speed needed by the slatted F-4. (Some say that the carrier suitability tests were flawed, and that the F-4s could have operated from Coral Sea, but by the time the mistake was found, the ship was already configured for IMA support of the older F-4N.)
Bottom line.... VF-21 swapped aircraft with VF-301 and VF-154 gave their aircraft to VF-302.

Iwo?
This one is an old favorite of mine. I've used it as a background on my desktop for a while:
The foremost aircraft has the callsign "Ha-Kochav" written on it, which translates to "The Star".

Whatever it takes...Zunis launched from A-4s (US Navy did that first, but Israelis reportedly did it twice), supersonic passes over top of helos hugging the deck....
