I met a Naval aviator (F-14) in a gun shop about 8 or 9 years ago and when we began to discuss the death of the woman pilot who crashed I discovered he was really mad.

I got the impression that a lot of pilots were on the verge of resignation after that and also the tailhook scandal which was much less than appeared.

I was at Tailhook, and I came very close to quitting twice. Once because of the lies told by female aviators about their own activities, then again when Congress came down on Bob Stumpf, who was good enough to command the Blue Angels, but not good enough for Politically Correct Congress.

We had a right to be angry about Kara and Carey because the job is dangerous enough without a couple of incompetent Sheilas up there putting scank-stank on your shit. Hell, Kara once forgot to shut down an engine on the flight deck, and almost sucked up a yellow-shirt. I KNOW they would have tossed me over the side for that maneuver, yet she stayed and would have probably gone up the chain has she not pulled her famous rudder-for-lineup move that finally took her life.

Tailhook was what it always was. Aggressive men mixed with alcohol. You know the rest. Anyone unable to hang in that environment, should not have been there. You don't get gold wings for being a pussy. I fear the day that some sensitive woman with penis-envy is all that stands between a Backfire bomber and any place I happen to be. I'm going to shut up now. I already said too much.
