Here's today's entry:

ETA: Let it never be said that I won't post pictures of cargo planes and other 'grunt' type haulers like P-3s.


P-3's ,haul. Bombs, torpedoes, rockets and missiles. In short , P-3's haul only death for subs and skimmers.


And rubber dog**** out of Hong Kong?

No. Wait. That was the idle threat imposed upon Goose and Maverick, wasn't it?






According to the Duffle bog it wasn't an idle threat. In Top Gun 2 he plays a cashiered Navy officer who as a civilian charter flies rubber dogshit out of a factory in HK. :) Just sayin' .

Thanks for the clarification. The Buzz is intriguing, maybe the pilots' name or nickname.

"C-47 Skytrain "Buzz Buggy," 81st TCS, 436th TCG, USAAF"

I hope the documentary has better camera work.

I can be cruel can't I?

Anyway, a Pacific theatre warship which I'm fairly certain does not appear in the War in the Pacific scenarios. Three guesses for three names to choose from, of which two names do appear in the WitP scenarios, just on different ships.

A 'three parter':

1. Name the Japanese plane in the foreground.

2. Name the fighter below it in the case underneath (the one my camera focused on ).

3. Name the bomber type aircraft in the lower right.

No, it's fine. It makes it all the more fun when you get 'em wrong.

Technically, it's an A2D-1 Skyshark, but I'll give you credit. Because I'm nice that way.

AD-2 Skyshark.


Technically, it's an A2D-1 Skyshark, but I'll give you credit. Because I'm nice that way.

No, your wrong. Here's why. I gave you the OLD NAVY STYLE of aircraft designation. A2D is the NEW system of designation , AKA "The McNamara system". The aircraft in system was ordered in 1945 , delivered in 1950 and tested around the same period. The NEW system (combined service ) made it's entry some time after the Kennedy administration took office , that is sometime after 1960. An example of this , the 1st plane I was trained on was the Lockheed P-3a. But it was ordered as the P3V1 . The production plates (AKA acceptance plates) in the cockpit said P-3A. But Lockheed got caught short with little notice , so little bits of the aircraft still had the OLD designation. Like the ASH- receivers (ash trays, we still had them). All showed a P-3 taking off, with the designation P3V proudly emblazoned.

So while the MODEL might say A2D , and the one in the Museum in San Diego says A2A (I've seen it , the original designation was AD-2. The Douglas skyRaider , known in Vietnam as the A-1 , and previously as the AD-1. The pilots would say they flew "Able Dogs" which were VERY able.
