Hey Tom, LTNS
My understanding is they are going to keep a couple of T2s at PAX for undetermined time as we really don't have a platform that can take it's place for OFC. VT 86 in Pensacola is going to take delivery of a handful of T2's to augment their stable of Buckeys for NFO training. Next time I am in your neighborhood, I'll stop by.

Gerry "Spinmeister" Gallagher still spends more time in OCF than the rest of the kids have in their logbooks!

Davis- Monthan? (Somehow "War Reserve" just doesn't sound right for the Mississippi MiG.) Foreign sales? Civilian sales? Smelter? Artificial reef?

Hey Dud, your right, some things you never forget, especially when you are
havin fun!! Tom at Pax -------------------------------------------------- Sounds good Jake! Yep TPS will hang on to the old gal as long as they can. We even have one at VX-20 to chase the NP-2000 (that is an E-2 with the new 8 bladed props). That thing sounds like a mosquito on steroids! I understand that either 10 or 86 will get some T-6A's to get the 'FOs some glass cockpit time. We have one at Pax and it is sweet!

That OCF program was one of the best in the Navy. Hell....it was one of the best in the SERVICES for that matter!! :-) A lot of guys are alive today, and birds were recovered that might not have been recovered were it not for that OCF program.
