Hi all, quote:
ORIGINAL: AW1Steve quote:
ORIGINAL: USS America I watched the A-6's and F-14's doing touch and goes all day long when I was stationed at NAS Oceana, and, of course, all the rest of the crew when I was on The Boat. I almost always worked nights, 7-7, and would spend many hours rubber necking on Vulture's Row in the mornings after work. It never gets old. Having spent countless hours sitting back ward in the ass end of the airplane engaged in that exercise (usually referred to as "bouncing" or "crash and dash"), I can assure you that the pleasure was all yours.The pilot loved it , the guy in the back seat , or other , tried desperately for several hours (for P-3's 4 hours was considered the maximum a observer could stand, so we usually did 5-6) NOT to puke. NOT FUN! Steve, you can never get accustomed to that (i.e. not get sick) in the back of the airplane? Leo "Apollo11"
