Night time carrier quals. I don't think I ever heard of a day trap.

You were a GIB in Viggies? E-2? S-3? A-3?
Those are the only carrier A/C I can think of that "afford" the GIBs no forward vision. Well, the C-1A, but bloters in the COD don't count. LOL!
I only had two bolters (365 "traps") -- both in CQ, and both caused by a "nervous" IP who couldn't keep his hands off the wheel.
After my OinC caused my first (and only!) night bolter, I told him that if he wanted to land the damn airplane, just let me know, and I'd let him land it!
He let me alone after that. Fortunately, he was a Fraternity Brother, and took no offense at a "wet behind the ears" JG barking at a LCDR!

Bow-chicka-bow-bow.... Did you get that from the old Commodores song? If so, does that mean Rummy is a "brick house" (whatever that means?)
"he's mighty, mighty, he's letting it all hang out" (embarrassed I know the words to that song)
To: dennisw
seems pretty qualified to me

Here's a photo from his early days.
To: dennisw
He publicly sought the vice-presidential nomination in 1980 and briefly ran for the Republican presidential nomination in 1988 against the George Bush 41, before dropping out and backing former Bob Dole for the job. He was also Dole’s campaign chairman in his failed 1996 presidential bid against Bill Clinton.
