From an old carrier sailor - Blue water Navy truism; There are more planes
in the ocean than submarines in the sky.


Which reminds me of my uncle who many moons ago flew for the navy....

He flew those twin engine prop planes that carry the radar domes on them...I
dont remember the type number...

And of course way back when jets werent nearly as reliable and efficient as
today...

From his point of view he referred to them as flying emergencies...because as
he said from the moment they took off they were already down to one engine and
low on fuel

take care
