SONOBUOY PING!

Click on pic for past Navair pings.

Post or FReepmail me if you wish to be enlisted in or discharged from the Navair Pinglist.
The only requirement for inclusion in the Navair Pinglist is an interest in Naval Aviation.
This is a medium to low volume pinglist.

I don’t think I’m ever going to get used to seeing a US carrier at sea without a bunch of Tomcats on deck.

Obama has no doubt sent ahead the fleet's position and maneuvers to the Chinese, Russians, and Iranians as a gesture of "American diplomacy".


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

The last that I heard, the Iranian ship heading to Gaza returned to port as soon as the U.S. fleet transited the Canal.

My dad was a design engineer and project manager on the old A-7. Really miss seeing those on decks too.

I did work on the Phoenix fire control for that bird, and got to watch it perform in a couple of airshows in RI.

The new birds might be better, but I’m missing that dogfighter.
