Weasel LOL. I have been in the F-18 community since 85. I'm out of the Navy now but still involved with the F-18's. That F-18 tanker joke is always passed around by people that work on different platforms. Never has been considered.

I love fairytale's and sea stories but some times they are based on facts. Check out this link rstbkt69, you might learn something new.

Bad link, Weasel

This one should work. I don't like to post pictures from other sights because of the possibility of copyright infringement. One board I use to go to some people got nailed for that.

Hi John
This is a great thread. I am a retired ATC mainly with A-6E's and RH-53D's. I know an old salt from the early whales who was a pilot. He retired as a Captain and spent alot of time at Sanford. His name is Don Munday, do you know him?

Yep, I remember him!!! I was in VAH-11 from 1958 to 1962 when I was transferred to VAH-123 at Whidbey as an Instructor B/N.. I actually spent twelve years flying in A3s..

Here is a shot of my graduating B/N class taken in 1961 in VAH-3 at Sanford. We were one of the few all enlisted B/N classes and we were all Aviation Machinist Mates (AD) I am the White Hat on the left.. The other three are gone. Two of them were shot down in RA3Bs over North Vietnam and the other died while in VAH-7 in an A3J in South Florida. They had a complete hydralic failure, and he did not survive the ejection. So I am the only survivor and the only one who stayed in the A3s.
