That's what I want to hear CholeraJoe, tell us more stories!

I can only tell you some. Otherwise, I'd have to shoot you.;)

Once, we were flying range security before a missle launch. Our job was to make sure any fishing boats were clear of the downrange area in case the missle had to be destroyed after launch. We cleared out a couple and I spotted something about a mile to the right and told the Aircraft commander to fly towards it. At first, I thought it might be a periscope from a Soviet sub. (Like we could have done anything other than take pictures)

When we got to the area it turned out to be a school of gray whales migrating south. We circled at a safe altitude (Marine Mammal Protection Act, ya know) and watched them for a few minutes. Awesome.

Darn it! Can't have that.

The whale watching sounds cool.

Cool! I've only been able to spot pods of Killer Whales when we've gone whale watching. P.S. No killing of my partner is allowed.

Wouldn't harm a hair on her head. I'll just stick to unclassified stories.
