It takes a village…
« on: November 26, 2023, 01:31:19 PM »
It takes a lot of people to get our fat butts off the deck!  :salute If you were or are one of them!


Pop Quiz: Name the plane?

Back in 2022 after a loooooong break from 2010. Old name Ratpack, same for the BBS. Old squads, Excaliburs, 172nd Rabid Dawgs.

Here's my favorite one on the right. The old man circa 1973-74.

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!

You saluted the men who "helped get our fat butts off the deck"... I replied with a picture of my father, who was a flight deck "final checker" at the time of this picture. He later went on to be a plane captain, and then went to OCS in Pensacola, FL. He retired as a Lieutenant after 20 years of service.

There is usually a reason when your support crew picks up a few extra members who try to obscure what’s on your wing.
