    The whales blow in unison off the port bow to the delight of the visitors and film crew.

    It’s easy to see that the Navy has the BEST cell coverage, with 8 bars… er, pubs, saloons. We also offer the fewest dropped calls, but we’re not talking about our bombs.

    Pilot hits the red button, news at 11.

    Back in the day, Lex, that stick would have required only one jet and been twice as impressive! ;-)

  • lex

    Oyster,

    Yeah, yeah – and they would have called it “precision bombing” for having successfully struck the Pacific ;-)

  • Re 10 & 11

    CATFIGHT!!

    PS I gotta agree with Oyster. That demo probably took 4 jets plus a spare and 2 X KC-135.

    Wait, I thought they only did that with B-25s…

    When questioned, the Pilot whined, “But, all I did was hit the ‘SLAVO’ (no misspelling!) button!”

    (This really happened. Names and crew position changed to protect the guilty)

    Reuters: Greenpeace sub skipper Trey Hougar commented after the maiden cruise of their latest Enviro-submersible: “We’ve got a ways to go with our stealth operations as we shadow the nefarious U.S. Fleet.”

    This is what we have to do now to “help” the skimmer ASW force and land based P-3s to get a general idea where to look for us. The red flare thing, all back full bells and aux noise makers just weren’t helping.

    I will admit that, after becoming a Lemooreon, it was a revelation to learn that on the (cough) off chance that one gooned up one’s pattern, the option remained to be able to be at virtually any old dive angle and still get a bomb – A BOMB – purt durn near to where my diamond had been dropped. But still, it was cool dropping em’ a dozen at a time.

    And while you were grabbing a slider, the Tigers were still out there watching me bag traps!
