I'm surely not the Senior Naval Aviator (remember that? "SNA"?) attending
to this News Group although I may be the among the oldest - first carrier landing on March 17, 1954 - and I wonder, seriously, if the cross-posters realize what a disservice (read pain-in-the-ass) they are to those of us who cherish contact with folks of similar backgrounds and interests Further, I wonder if they realize that their cross-posts, always, provoke an alienation to whatever the hell their nutty causes might be, and an annoyance with them personally for the posts. Monitoring is an attractive option but we're way beyond that.I just hope that each of us "good-guys" can figure out a way to co-opt, neutralize and maybe, some day, eliminate all their crap from our personal sand box and keep this site for those of us who have something to say to one another about a very important element of their own security - and their right to sound off, unfortunately. |

Well put, Boomerang. Damn.. 1954? SNA for sure! I was a mere
back-seat-qual'ed Parachute Rigger (S-3's and A-7's.. I think it gave the rest of the A/C some misplaced sense of security having a PR along). )Boomerang wrote: I'm surely not the Senior Naval Aviator (remember that?

As far as "Senior" goes I can claim many conversations with Naval Aviator # 711 (My grandfather). He is of course no longer around to defend hmself. He did forgive me for only being a Tin Can Pork Chop. Naming my first born after him probably helped. Bob McKellar |

Just kiddin'.. we need tin-can sailors just as damn much as we need aviators. I'm born and raised in Pensacola, still here, so I may have an overdeveloped appreciation of Naval Aviation (Lord how I miss Trader Jon's!).. I raise a glass to Naval Aviator #711! Shanghai |

"...figure out a way to co-opt, neutralize and maybe, some day, eliminate
all their crap from our personal sand box...." The only readily effective way is to assiduously avoid showing any response whatsoever. Hopefully their tiny minds will get bored and they will wander away! The alternative is to have a full time newsgroup administrator who filters all email - a job nobody wants! 1956 - First trap on USS Monterey off Pensacola. WDA end "Boomerang" wrote in message ...

Also anyone know where I can find some photos of T-28 carrier landings? B.C. Mallam -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |
