AF vs. Navy

[frog_flyer]

"It's not the landing, why would I care?
You never have a crosswind and you never have to flare.
You've got four f888in' wires, how could you miss?

I can't think of anything that's easier than this.
But once you're on the deck my friend,
you're never the same again....
cuz you're stuck on a boat in the middle of nowhere with 5000 other men......


Join the navy..... I don't think so

Livin' on a boat..... I don't think so

Hot bunkin'... yeahhhidon't think so

Doin' night traps... f888 that, I don't think so......."

If you made it to either club, you have been given a fantastic adventure. I believe few of those who went down either path would change change much.

Concur with the fantastic adventure part. I'd change the part where the Navy moved my landing spot while I was away and then turned their TACAN off. Then again, maybe not, just another part of the adventure.

And fellas - as I mentioned in my earlier post...this guy is a complete and utter tool. He had to go out of his way to write 2 ridiculous posts to me on a lighthearted subject. I guess proof is in the pudding. Well at least we don't have to claim him as an AF guy...Navy flyers, I'm sorry guys. There's always one in the bunch that just doesn't get it huh? :crying:

Just the p*ssing and moaning and moral indignation I expect from a self-appreciative Zoomie puke like you Scapdog. You call someone out in a post and then get all girly and weepy when a response comes in that you don’t like.


The bottom line is the guys on the ground get less support than they need and deserve and the AF tells them tough sh*t, we’re giving you the short end of the stick and putting all our resources in an airplane that will fight the next war, regardless of the consequences in this war.


Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone.

Someday I hope to have as many carrier landings as DaveGriffin...oh, wait, I do. My mistake.

I bet I have you beat MAGNUM!! in underway CVN landings, C-2s and multiple helo types, as a rider and not the driver. Facing aft in the C-2 is a weird experience launching and landing.

There's nothing cooler in the world than watching night (or day) carrier ops. Maybe you'll get lucky, break out of your protective cocoon, and get a chance to see that some day.

I can tell you how to swing a ride, then you can tell Dave where to stick it.

Ya don't ask a guy if he's a Naval Aviator. If he is, he'll tell you. If he's not, you'll embarrass him.

double smily thing

Yeah, I saw that once...

Dude: "I'm a Naval Aviator..."

Chick: "So, you're a pilot, huh?"

Dude: "Uh, no. I said I was a Naval Aviator."

Chick: "Like Goose?"

Dude: "Er, yeah, something like that..."

Oh just go Coast Guard and get the best of both worlds. Land on a boat and get to be home and night. They're red and white, so not too many people shooting at you. Especially in the Great Lakes, Alaska, Hawaii, and the Keys.

I'll take Alaska in June, July, and August (been to Cope Thunder in June and it was awesome). Rest of the year, you can have it. I'm not a fan of 4 hour days and 20 below zero.
