Dixie, please thank Jenx for me. And thank you for posting and the ping.

Frank L. Davis, Jr., Captain, USNR (Ret), 1963-1991, USN, USNR.

I was proud have served as a Naval Aviator, and would do it again, in a heartbeat!

If I were 25 years old, I cannot imagine wanting to be anywhere else in the world except strapped into the pilot's seat of any USN Carrier-type Aircraft, on the catapult, in tension, waiting for the "cat" to fire! The most exciting, rewarding and challenging task known to man -- Carrier Aviation, irespective of the type aircraft!

However, "If your airplane does not have a round engine, a tailwheel and a tailhook, it is not a real airplane."

PS. I'd love to get just one more "trap," even though, by Navy standards, I am an "Old Geezer!"
