They teach other squadrons how the bad guys do it. Currently a full Commander with 225 traps, and operations officer for the 20th Air Group (six squadrons). Six months in the Gulf and "over the beach", as they call it.
Won't give me a ride, though.
He has some weak excuse about Navy regulations. My explanation that I'm a taxpayer and helped pay for his rides doesn't seem to get through.
Just once, I'd like to launch off a Carrier and land back on one. Not in an F5, though.
