JR- That may have been the rules at the beginning, until we proved most of us
could
find our way back without dragging a Bear along... BRBR

Maybe the FID and F-14s...I did one hop where we were specifically told to stay
overhead making noise outta JP until our recovery time. Did that all day..maybe
during transit...I can't remember.

Really did like McGrail as CO tho. He brought the 'magic' back to Midway...much
better than the previous CO..who cancelled more events than we
flew...Owens....gee I remembered his name!!!
