Yeah, that day, but you forgot the wing sweep incident later on
deployment that left the Dogs (I think) w/one less jet for flyoff... that was also his least Tomcat hop too IIRC. Dredging up some rather dormant brain cells here, but wasn't he responsible for the infamous "Lost Dawg"? I have photos of it somewhere, after the flight leader brought his element in to land on Ike (gee, I wonder why there is exhaust coming out of that carrier..?), realized his mistake and waved off, but didn't warn #2, who went on to trap on Connie. They kept the Tomcat for a short period, to facilitate a little "corrosion control" (a rather thorough job of graffiti application) before the 'Lost Dawg' and crew returned to Ike for their public embarrassment. Wasn't CAG the flight lead for that incident as well....? As far as flying with all the others, well, I think I remember him flying with us (Bluetails)-- once -- Your birds weren't sexy enough for him LOL. ) Nice to see you again,Will. v/r Gordon ====(A+C==== USN SAR Aircrew "Got anything on your radar, SENSO?"
