Banana River NAS by
AllanStern
The old Banana River NAS is now known as Patrick AFB. The callsign of the
Command Post is MAYAAP, and I understand that the callsign may have originated
at the old Banana River NAS.
Can anyone tell me how they got the callsign MAYAAP?

Hazy center A-6E loadout by
Allen Epps
All,
As Mike correctly pointed out, it was more common to see Intruders with
MERs vice TERs during his time. This begs two questions; this A-6E
(buno 154167 for those that care) is finished in the TPS scheme as it

Elsewhere in the cockpit, there's a gun turret, and there's apparently
another seat between it and...
