Falcon 00!
Thanks.:) No one has said that to me in a long time, except for my primary beneficiary.

Hey!.........Wait a minute!..................Come to think of it, she hasn't said that to me in quite awhile either.:crying:
 
I aquired a flight crew patch with Project Shoehorn and Cubi Point Phillipines on it. It shows a lightning bolt going through some telephone wires with Doulgas "Doulgas Aircraft Corp" on it as well.

From what I can gather on the net, it deals with epuiping Naval A/C with ECM I believe for SAM or radar disguising for enemy aircraft.

It also refers to the Firebee drones including DC-130's, RB-47's, and RB-57's.

Thanks for any info.
I went through Shoehorn school when I was a VAW-13 Tweet. It involved 'I' level maintenance of ALQ-41 and ALQ-51 DECM equipment. Got a pic of the patch? I never saw one. Many crew members had patches made that weren't official patches; this might be one of those. Loved my time in DET-1 Cubi.
