What a crap day !!!!

Encountered a SAM,

Got a hung bomb,

Refuel probe wont retract,

2 miles out lost electrics.....RAT deployed,

Then the tower tell me half the runway is closed & I've only got 4000 Ft use-able.

This runway is like glass when its wet.......

The pilot managed to evade the missile, but during the returning to the carrier, the Intruder crew demanded new underwear as soon as possible after the landing".

No A-6 Intruder of VA-165 in the country until 1967. In 65 they still got their propellers on board Coral Sea as part of  CVW-15.

The Frag Order said to bomb a Kimchi Shack. I'm SURE it was a front for a cabbage-based Nuclear Weapons Facility, so I took the mission. Besides, it was a slow day on the water............

Only VA with A-6 in 1965 was 75 and 85. 

at that time VA-65 was transferring from COMNAVAIRLANT to Pacific Fleet. VA-65 first deployment within COMNAVAIRPAC was from May 12, 1966, to December 3, 1966, as part of CVW-15 on Constellation.

sorry, I have a serial/date/nose art fetish...
