The Middlegate Monster!!
Good answer. How about this legendary spot (also out that way)? Wish we had had time to stop but we were attempting to get to Nellis before the roads closed.

We have a winner! Can't believe Feddoc didn't get it right away! I think I saw his name carved on the wall in the head. Bonus question: "What is the current population of Middlegate?

12? That's a damn good burger BTW.
15? I can picture the sign, just can't remember what the non crossed out number is.
Unreal would be a showgirl with every guy!
We had a skipper who wanted a shot like that for Christmas. We arranged to have his very comely daughter stop by squadron in a tight dress (with complicity of his wife) and we shot her lying horizontal across the arms of the wildest JOs. His anticipation upon presentation was like a dog salivating when it knows a treat is about to be bestowed. The look on his face when he unwrapped it and it finally dawned on him who was in the picture was priceless. For some reason, he never hung it on the wall of his office. Maybe she has it.

Wait, did the cargo ship come from Lincoln? Or the guy? Or did the Lincoln injure the guy? Maybe the helicopter just showed up out of thin air. Sheesh, talk about atrocious grammar. You'd think JOs (or however a Mass Comm rate is abbreviated now) would proof that stuff.
This US Navy image begs for a caption
