tous Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 (edited) If McDonnell Douglas didn't make it, you'd better hope that Grumman did. Scott, you ever get a ride in a Tomcat with the GE F110-400s? Edited August 21, 2018 by tous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott, you ever get a ride in a Tomcat with the GE F110-400s?Unfortunately, no. Tomcat As and two hops in a Hornet B were as sporty as I got.Sent from my phone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BK Tomcats flew from Indy until 1997, then Kitty Hawk. My only clue is the fin flash, which has the simplicity of circa 1994 jets. They got increasingly detailed and artistic as the years went by. If I had to bet, I'd go Indy. Sent from my phone using Tapatalk When the F4 was retired, didn't some carriers have to go strictly to F18s because the F14 was too darn big to operate off of it? 16 hours ago, willie-pete said: G-d dammit.

F14Scott Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 AFAIK, Tomcats were aboard all carriers that Hornets eventually joined and took over. My boat, CV-62 Independence, was the smallest deck afloat and the oldest active ship in the inventory when she retired in 1997, at 39 years. So, short answer, I don't think there were any Hornet but not Tomcat boats, at least not for jet size reasons.Sent from my phone using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tous Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Scott, what did the air crew think about going from 30 years of a stick and a GIB to just a stick in the F/A-18s? Could you trust an aviator to fly all by himself? Keep in mind, it was the Navy that told us to replace the backseaters with electrons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason, as soon as I looked at the picture, I knew it was a brain teaser. I knew it was meant to be something to figure out. The genius of that pic is that most wont realize it's a brain-teaser, and therefore not ponder the larger importance of it. Most will just think they're two scary looking planes, and assume that's the reason for the "very very frightening" part.

I just thought it was a neat picture of a P-47 and a P-38. Very, very frightening to the enemy. . 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
