Again based on news reports, nothing specific mentioned dealing with
naval aviation.

Not on the level you're discussing Mike, but I can assure you, there willbe
an unwritten and fairly silent but brutal ramification within the naval
fighter community.

Excuse me? Here was the question: "Does anyone know if they build
anything related to Naval Aviation?"

I have no idea whatsoever as to what you _think_ I was claiming with my
response above.

Cunningham was the top dog in VN..number 1....the bragging rights if you
will. Ritchie has always been merely the good natured runner up at any O
club bar on any naval fighter base since the Viet Nam War. You know fighter
pilots. It's all in fun and very friendly, but deadly serious at the same
time. This kind of reversal doesn't go down well at Squadron level.

And this has what to do with what was asked, and the resulting
response?

Cunningham did it for the navy in VN, and they have been enjoying that and
engaging in friendly harassment with their AF counterparts ever since the
war.
Now Cunningham has handed these guys the ultimate wet towel and from whatI
know of the fighter community, the navy fighter community will NEVER forgive
him, even if it's just for that last round at the bar the Air Force would
normally have paid for.

This may come somewhat as a shock, but it's going to be more than the
"navy fighter community" which isn't going to foregive him for what
he's done.

But more to the point; what does it have to do with what was asked, and
the response?

Cunningham is a classic example of a good man gone bad! I can't think of
anyone in my lifetime who had more going for him and ended up with less than
Randy.

And he has nobody to blame but himself, which I assume there will be no
argument. And as before, this has what to do with the question asked,
and what I posted?
