Reminds me of the famous LSO call when we were doing our Jerry
Tuttle-EX in the North Atlantic, clobbered w/fog "Keep it coming
Hummer, we hear you..." 'course the comfort bit was set as we
launched with the fog horn going and the rest of the launch was cnx'd
shortly after that...

" Strike, Bluetail, what do you guys want us to do now?"
"Proceed on station"
"But we thought the event was cnx'd?"
"It was, AB sez to proceed to station" (200+ miles away)
"Yeah...roger Strike"
(that was the slowest I think we ever went to station)

I've known a few guys to hear that call. CVW-15 NORPAC 89. Same deal.
Fog.

"403, Clara."
"Keep it comin' 403. You're soundin' good."

If I heard the story correctly, they recovered about 17 jets.

Same air wing did the same thing about 6 years later too.

Doug- I've known a few guys to hear that call. CVW-15 NORPAC 89. Same deal.
Fog. BRBR

Samo around 1982 or so, Coral Sea, Midway and Enterprise, north Pacific. Bunch
of A/C to Shemya(KC-10 overhead), 1000 mi+ divert. E-2 almost hit the island.
F-14s from Enterprise onboard Midway(don't paint the F-14s!!!).

great fun.

Yep, I have had a few flights were I flew at L/D max for the entire hop when
the safe recovery on my plane was in doubt.
