with them. I'd really...

Loss rates for A-7s in the fleet by
Gordon
I had an interesting conversation with a pair of SLUF pilots today - an
AF type and a Navy guy. I chimed in with my 2 cents, that my
connection with the stubby little jets was that I used to fish their
pilots out of the sea when they went from "single engine" to "no
engine". Both pouted a bit at...

December 7th by
Gordon
To those that suffered and those that fought back, this is our day to remember
their sacrifices. In the post- 9/11 era, 'Remember Pearl Harbor' has been
replaced, as was the previous war-cry, "Remember the Maine!" but the
sacrifices and glory earned on that long ago Day of Infamy guarantee that...

bushies file illegal flight plan by
Gordon
For security reasons, Air Force One filed a flight plan identifying
itself as a a Gulfstream 5, a much smaller airplane.
Not only is this illegal - period - it is also unsafe to that aircraft and
others sharing the sky. If a developing situation required the air controller
to order the...

Fav CAG story (was US Navy nose cone colours?) by
Gordon
Chimp Head? I'm dying over here.
I remember one "fly off from hell" - one of the Turkeys was hard down the whole
cruise. No wait, that was nearly ALL of them... At any rate, one of them had
become a picked over shell, nearly picked clean by maint piranhas, with the
assumption that it would be...

Aw ****s and Bravo Zulus by
Gordon
Everyone knows that one wipes out a career full of attaboys. What is your
favorite non-fatal "aw ****" story? I thought we could also make a thread and
tell about the best flying each of us encountered.
On Ike in 1980, we had Whales. Either one or two of the massive things, but
they were...

Q: anyone know of a sea-rescue of an airman by the USS North Dakota? by
Gordon[_2_]
I have a photo of a whale boat returning to the ship, titled "USS
North Dakota whale boat rescuing balloon man." It is not a motor
whaleboat, its rowed by hand - but there isn't any other details.
Always intrigued by such references - who was this 'balloon man'?
