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. P. C. Chisholm CDR, USN(ret.) Old Phart Phormer Phantom, Turkey, Viper, Scooter and Combat Buckeye Phlyer |

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..." When we got back from shimmia we were in the landing pattern there was a 45 knot xwind at 1200 feet the fis was down to less that 3/4 mile. The call was "99 taxi lights on in the landing pattern you won't see the deck until about 100' " that's only about 40' above the flight deck. For my approach the ball call was clara they said keep it coming. At about 1/2 mile it was paddles contact at 150' i called ball one right for line up and I got an OK 2 wire with a PNUAR that was when I saw the ship! This insanity can be addictive. Sparky |

"Yeah...roger Strike"
(that was the slowest I think we ever went to station) 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. Sparky |
