Navy Squadron VA-93 "Blue Boozers" officially "Blue Blazers"
Hi Sports Fans!
I'm looking for someone who might know why the A-4C Skyhawk Squadron VA-93 "Blue Blazers" was also known by the nickname "Blue Boozers", at least on the 1966 Westpac/Vietnam Cruise on the "Big E." The implications are obvious. But, I want to know the back story. Was there a particular event that earned them that nickname? Did the squadron members adopt it for themselves? Was a particular individual responsible for labeling the squadron such? There has to be some Naval Aviation historians in this esteemed group. Any information would be appreciated. Jocko
