What is coming off the canopy of that A-7?
Isn't that A4's cigarette? I know as an LSO he had to fly a couple of different type aircraft...and I remember him saying he enjoyed a smoke now and then while flying.
It is smoke from an F-4 that launched earlier...although we did have a couple of guys who smoked, but they usually waited till at least they were cleaned up to light up.
This was actually the inaugural Nimitz cruise when VF-74 and VMFA-333 were onboard.
I used to smoke when I flew F-4s, but I fortunately quit.It is smoke from an F-4 that launched earlier...although we did have a couple of guys who smoked, but they usually waited till at least they were cleaned up to light up.
Unfortunately, my dog hasn't yet quit.
Kennedy (CV-67) is decommissioned and "laid up in ordinary" at the Philadelphia Navy Yard.
Constellation (CV-64) is decommissioned and "laid up in ordinary" in Bremerton, WA.
The Big E is still doing her duty. She will be the "senior" carrier here soon too, I imagine. While the Kitty Hawk is still in commission, it is anybody's guess as to how much longer, now that Bush Sr. has been commissioned.
Kitty Hawk decom is 31 Jan 09 in Bremerton.
Talk about being tuned in (for once), maybe I should try to guess some lotto numbers for tonight...
Wow that was quick. Are they still trying to sell it to the Indians?
My RSVP invite just showed up in the mail today ... ???
I wonder why they want to get me back onboard that thing ... ??
Yep, got mine yesterday. No chance for me to make it unfortunately.
Paddles reunion on the platform??
