Raymond I was stationed there for a few years. They have to practice (Pensacola NAS is their home base). I'd rather get woken up than see any of them crash.

If I got grounded I'd rather sleep on a terminal floor than on the ground somewhere when the plane crashed.

I don't understand what you are trying to say.

Lucky you. I graduated high school in 65. Wish I could have been there. I then joined the Navy in 66. Didn't want to get drafted into the Army. Spent a while in F4B Phantom school at NAS Oceana and then floating around off Vietnam on the USS Forrestal repairing Phantoms in VF11. Most of our squadron got fried in the big fire and we were rebuilding VF11. Not a great feeling especially when our boat was nick named the USS Forest Fire.

Excellent. Only thing that would make it better would be more and better cockpit shots. Wish I could get a ride along. Two thumbs up.

And Washington will let them do whatever they want to.

I agree with you 100%. Me, I am 67 and not in the greatest shape so I don't think I'll be around to see our country back the way it should be. I just worry about my four daughters and my grandkids. What will they have to live through, it there is anything left to live for.

I am now 67. The first time I flew on one was about 10 yrs. ago from LA to Heathrow London. About 10 hrs. and then on a smaller one up to Scotland for my daughters wedding. A long ride but so comfortable. The same thing on the way home but longer because of bucking the trades and a few minor problems before pushback, A total of about 15 hrs. I hope I have another chance before I'm history. If you ever fly on one go for a bulkhead seat, much more leg room.

Yes, it will be a sad day when they go. I saw the first one to land at JFK in NY. I was working as a mechanic at Lockheed AS at the time. Most of that airport came almost to a stop. That bird looked like it was just floating down. What a beautiful sight.
