Donny Sogga, cleared for an impromtu 'air show/fly-by' at a Italian AirForce
field...Was cleared by the tower, found the field and commenced to beat up the field, AB passes, hi g turns, low passes, lots of noise and such...Then asked how the tower liked it and the tower said, 'not in sight, continue'..wrong airfield... And then, ask about my gear up touch and go in a T-2, or going nose to nose with a civilian 737.....at Norfolk, or.... P. C. Chisholm CDR, USN(ret.)

"WaltBJ" wrote in message om... Now, the F4E wings do fold - they're manual instead of power and there's no lock control in the cockpit. The manual control is in the left wheel well. Are you sure about that? I was a crew chief on F-4Ds which had hydraulic wing folding. It's been a long time, but as I recall the locks, which were located at the wing fold, had to be backed out by hand and then the hydraulic mechanism could be activated. The hydraulic control was located in the left wheel well. I know the F-4E deleted the hydraulics, I assumed that would remove anything related to wing folding from the wheel well. |

Doug- Gear up T&G in a T-2? How'd that work out for you? BRBR
Got my attention, really loud, skipping off the runway..I was in the trunk as a 'IP' teaching another JO the T-2(in VF-126). One thing ya do is pull an engine to idle in the landing pattern, 'student' needs to pull gear up and go 1/2 flaps..be safely sirborne, downwind, then gear back down and a single engine approach...He reported gear down, speedbrakes in, i looked down and thought, yep, they are down cuz they say 'up', up' 'up'....was class C, really just broke the underbelly anti-smash light, The metal benders took off the belly pans, pounded them out...didn't even get a new call sign outta it.

Anybody else remember the post-night-form-midair-fluster-induced gear up night landing in the A-4 by a stud? I still have the Approach article. |

Would that be the same (Dan) Bunting that became Skipper in '102 during
the early 80's? Stephen Mudgett ex VF-33 AQ2 www.stephenmudgett.com Pechs1 wrote: stephen- Don Sogga, one (of 5) of my skippers, while I was in '33. Real super guy, great Skipper, too.
