Where do we find such men?
« on: September 21, 2013, 12:27:48 AM »
Intruder in the barricade, USS Ranger 1991. Stormy Indian Ocean, pitching deck...

Outstanding work by the LSO and pilot. According the comments, the pilot of the A-6 was killed in 1994 in a training accident.

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!

For the impatient, Intruder ball at 10:29.

It also appear the LSO was killed in an accident later that year in October.

Here's a page with more info on "Bug" Roach.  He was the real deal.
