Navy or Air Farce?

righto-we all had assigned seats everytime the USAF exchange officer came
aboard the boat...better show than either the USMC pilot or the movie...


Yup. If you want to put an airplane on a boat, you best call the
Navy. If you want to put ordnance on a target, you best call the Air
Force.

C'mon, you can do better than that. I liked the one 'the Navy makes moovies,
the airfarce makes history.'

Besides, I really like the ironed flight suits and those keen scarves..

No need to.

One reason for wearing scarves is that the damned Nomex wears holes in
your neck as you look around. I learned to wear a scarf flying 86s and
wearing the old horse collar Mae West. I still got scars on my neck
from that piece of crap. And I mean good long silk scarves, not those
silly snap things. What? You don't look around? Then rots of ruck, GI!

If you fight a better jet, you don't have to look behind you. |:-) This is
most likely why Navy guys don't wear scarves.

Something seriously wrong with this statement.

All kidding aside Walt, my hat's off to your service, but given my cultural
background, I doubt I'd ever get used to wearing one.

I guess that's the other thing I remember about 'some' USAF types, their lack
of a sense of humor.

What I remember: I pulled into many Navy and AF bases on XCs (the only
bachelor pilot in a Vigi squadron with three bachelor RANs). The duty
driver taking us to the BOQ: if an AF base, if you asked him a question,
you either got a short, succinct answer or "I don't know, sir"; if Navy,
you always got _some_ answer, maybe BS, but not short, and never "I don't
know, sir".

Oh, they have it, it's just more sophisticated.

Better airplane? When I was flying 86s out of Naha on Oki-knock-knock
the Navy was flying Panthers - and the Gutless. Even when we switched
to F86Ds we could eat both of those beasts alive. During my career the
only Navy fighter we respected was the Crusader - everything else was
toast to our 104s. Then when we got the Dash 19 engine and a 25%
thrust increase there weren't any more Crusaders around! Damn, that
F8 was one fine machine. I had four friends flew it on exchange - 2
Marine and 2 Navy. I also had 2 friends fly the Demon on exchange -
the less said about that the better. One of them (Larry Davis) had a
ramp strike but his part of the Drut slid up the flight deck and he
was okay. I always wondered if he got a medal for reducing the
inventory of Demons by one.

Why was this plane so awful ?
