Small world. I flew helicopters out of Imperial Beach 69-70 before going overseas to VN, Japan and Philippines. We were both there when NAS Miramar suffered the horrible explosion when an unmanned F-4 flew into a hangar and blew up. Sad day. Thanks for your service.
Personal note: We also had PR’s and loved them, mainly because they made us helmet bags and other goodies, and they doubled as combat aircrewmen. I think we may have had chutes, but I’m not sure why. I guess OPNAV called for them when above 3K feet.
We were in that hangar until June we deployed on the Constellation,pulling out of Pearl Harbor when the moon landing occurred,headed to the Tonkin Gulf.
I think that crash was a month or more after we left.
Yeah I made a few bucks making some of those bags!
It is a small world,thank you for your service as well!
Merry Christmas!
It’s worth noting that this theory has practical application to economics, and why Progressive thought is so dangerous.
Social engineering is as dangerous as jumping out of an airplane, because you’re moving into an unknown and doing so with a high probability of failure (±50%).
Also with the caveat that ‘jumping’ into Marxism or socialism is more dangerous and with a higher cost of failure: Prog social engineering doesn’t just kill the fool who made the bad choice.
It kills more people over more time more painfully...
