As a stashed ensign at VS-41 (the S-3 RAG/FRS) awaiting a class slot for flight training in Pensacola, I got a single leg cross country, coast-to-coast ride in a Hoover for the holidays with the family. Had all my Tijuana-purchased Christmas goodies stored aboard. Great range & endurance and a versatile tactical platform!
North Island to Cecil was a one-legger.
Cecil to North Island . . . stop overnight at Sheppard AFB. Hit it on the right Friday night, and join partying nurse graduates at the O’Club.
