VA-34 "Blasters" were in Airwing One at that time and they sure put a hurtin' on some gunboats.

One night, we were on CAP and a guy in our sister squadron, VF-101 came up on "Strike" freq and said, "Strike, Diamondback 1__, every time we fly over this surface contact, they shoot at us."

It was really poor radio discipline on my part but I couldn't help myself and I came up and said, "WELL, DON'T FLY OVER THEM!" laugh That was one of the gunboats that was taken out later that night. smile
