They were one hell of a plane.
Many times at sea I've seen them just above the deck like two balls of fire on a stick. My ship often sailed alone behind the fleet, we had a fast attack sub escort at times, but you rarely saw them. It was always something to see when the Tomcats would come check up on us Had two scare the living **** out of me once in the Gulf...they made a practice attack on me from behind and about blew out the wheelhouse windows...No **** I almost had a heat attack as they passed on each side at wheelhouse level. I had no clue they were in the area. You can not imagine the BOOM! Well maybe you can..check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXK1M...elated&search= Today the Navy retired them..No more on our ships. Tom Cruise will be crushed! Maybe he can buy a surplus one for his collection. Super Hornets are in ... Joe |

Top Gun was a great movie.
I liked Officer and a Gentleman better. When that movie came out every woman near a base wanted to hook up with an officer. It was a great time to be in uniform. |

CM- I wish, oil slicks repel rust, but the tree hugging putzes pitched a bitch last time I tried to preserve my hull that way. Like Charlie .....you are only thinking about the surface tension effect of the water molecules and fail to dig deeper. See water molecules look like Mickey mouse heads http://www.shorstmeyer.com/jpgs/watermolec.jpg and spin to align at the pole and have a strong attraction (tension)to each other like a magnet, I've found a way to switch polarity of the ears of the molocules in a given area. In doing so it makes all the molecules spin so fast trying to match polarity that the ear area(hydrogen) cavitates instantly. I can do a 8 ft square hole in the water with a triple A battery. I should file a patent before I disclose much more. Joe |
