I have never been on the ground at Pax, and I was not very well liked by the Hummer bubbas there, so I doubt it. How long you been there? You know any of my guys? Bung, Chachi?

Yep, E-2. I think that one was at night. First one was Hornet, day (of course, day.)

They told us when we CQ’d on Lex in late 80′s that parts of the flight deck were still wooden, but hell if I remember ANYTHING from that day except for the AirBoss shouting at me and then whispering to me off the cat.

4 digit BUNOs! That must have been before WWII!

Nose- Is that your name on that E-2 “nose” sticking out of the side of the “Flight Deck Lounge” at NAS Pax? If it ain’t it should be.

I’ll assume the second trap in a prop that day was an E-2 right? Not a T-28, right?

I never flew anything older than a T-2, but I once got two traps in one day- one prop and one jet – I’ve always thought that was pretty cool.

Other than that, no big claims to fame (except I just found out that I have flight time in the E-2 whose nose is on the Hangar deck of Midway as a tourist attraction, now.)

You have me beat by a country mile. The best I can do is several flights in a TC-117D BuNo 12443. Best regards for a continued long and productive life.

You mean to tell me that there are people still alive who flew propeller planes with radial engines while on active duty? Lemme tell you something too, I worked on an aircraft that was made in 1981 once, and hoo-boy was that thing ever old. Veritable museum piece, it was.

C’mon, next thing you’re going to tell me you remember ships with wooden decks and movie projectors.
