WAAAAHHHHH!!!!

Buck up folks, there been sadder days in the Navy's history than this...

First...The lovely F-8 :cry



Then the magnificent F-4 :(



Then the best strike aircraft ever made, BTW this is the last cat launch of the A-6 :cry



Also look what I found under a Skyraider, searching for these pics, betcha Uncle Ho got a kick out of toilets falling from the sky! LOL!

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

F8 is ugly as hell... Phantom is right behind it. The only thing cool about both those planes is that they are so ugly and that some how they manage to fly.

As the dude in the article said... The tomcat is the sexiest plane to ever fly. Big, fast as fk, and mean as hell. Great planes have come and gone, but none as great as the F-14.

F-14s are just machines,

































What makes me really sad was the last flight of Goose:







Remember Goose!

BS; he's dead.  I saw it happen and I'm not ashamed to admit that I cried.  Goose is every bit as dead as Elvis.

And while the passing of Goose was sad, at least he was spared from this:

Goose lived a good life. He flew ballistic in F-14's. He hit Meg Ryan when she was hot. He went to singles bars with Tom Cruise wearing dress whites and gold wings. He died before he went bald and had to work with George Clooney.

My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.

That middle pic of the classroom scene was shot in the middle of my hanger. I was way off to the left watching from the shop door. :)

Stop trying to hijack this thread; this is about Goose.
