thats what i said in so many less words lol

I hate to admit it growing up on Long Island NY and being trained on the F/A-18 hornet but the Hornet and MacDonald Douglas put Grumman out of business. Replaced the A-6, F-14, the A-6 tanker and the EA-6B Prowler now the Growler.

nope i still blame clinton if the tomcat only smelled like tuna scented cigar lol

was at pax from 1986 to 1992. strike aircraft test directorate and then vq-4 for my sea duty lol

I loved that show recorded all episodes on cassette tape back then so i could listen to it for many years to come I have the complete set on dvd now. Pappy was suppose to be signing autographs at an air show i went to as a kid but he never showed up slept in LOL. That show is the reason i joined the navy and worked as a aviation electricians mate on F/A-18 Hornets, C-130 and E6-A (Boeing 707 Tacamo) aircraft. Wanted to join the Marines but i hated to run lol. Somewhere on youtube there is a interview with Conrad when he talks about getting his private pilots license and flying to the set of black sheep squadron. One day he was flying himself and Pappy to the sets airfield when Pappy asked to take the yoke. He had a hard landing and crashed Conrads plan LOL. God Bless them both

Any plans for the F-14D? New digital cockpit, 2 Navy F-16N aggressor engines plus fighter/ground attack mode. A beast with bombs :-). Was at strike aircraft test directorate Patuxent River Maryland in the late 80's when we tested the F-14A+ and the F-14D. A hornet man at hart worked on the F/a-18a, b,c,d and night attack version of the c model but the F-14D was impressive. Thank Clinton for cancelling it!

P-38 ?, B-25 loaded with 50 cal and cannon :-)

Dont forget Rabaul and Midway

Amen! RIP Robert Conrad & Col. Boyington
