Chaingun Posted February 9, 2004 Posted February 9, 2004 Great Looking Ripper Jet, I spent 5 years with that outfit on the Forrestal. That's the biggest part of the job that I miss, the jets..... :P Quote
"Instigator" Posted February 10, 2004 Author Posted February 10, 2004 When were you there.. I was there from 9/87 to 4/91.. That ship was great.. I miss my carrier and my catapults 1&2... Quote
Chaingun Posted February 10, 2004 Posted February 10, 2004 I was a Final Checker and Trouble shooter for the IWT shop from 1985 to Nov 1990. I was a glutton for punishment, I extended my tour to match my EOS date so I spent 5 years with the rippers instead of going back to one of the rag outfits. :ph34r: Quote
"Instigator" Posted February 11, 2004 Author Posted February 11, 2004 Wow.. we crossed pathes more than once there.. I was launching them and you were safety checker.. kool........... This picture was taken by a pilot who asked off to take my caera up for a flight . I asked him to take some pictures and he took a couple, this is one of them.. Quote
Chaingun Posted February 11, 2004 Posted February 11, 2004 You have some great shots there. Unfortuneately that's one thing I wasn't, a shutterbug. Wish I had some pictures of those days. All I've got left are my cruisebooks, and my memory which is getting shorter by the day. :D I would definately agree that we crossed paths on numerous occasions. Quote
