I'll give PRM his due. Seeing these guys on your wing you always knew they had your back from 100 miles in.

But I'll dance with the girl that brung me. The mighty EA-6B built by the Grumman Ironworks (cripes - I had black hair 25 years ago, no wait, I had hair at all!)

Cant't forget my old ride as I flew several tail numbers but they always brought me home safely although a tad ventilated now and then.
A good muscle car could flat out run us on take off,we looked a little ancient waiting our turn to the active,weren't worthy of hot chick admiration but did have respect from those in need of our services.

My reunion last week with a special old friend..

Sweet. That lower picture is of us on the VR training route in Puerto Rico. I miss Roosey and another reason for a mighty FU to Hillary and all the black congressional congress.

I had forgotten about the F-20 Tigershark. A heck of a plane sold mostly to second and third world country air forces. A nice little jet.

C130-E Mod. All over SEA and So. and Central America. We toted everything from body bags to Kotex over a span of 4 years. You name it we hauled and/or kicked it out the tailgate.!!

Beauty, as they say, lies in the eyes of the beholder. That being said I have to nominate the P-39 and the PBY Catalina as one and two of the most aesthetically pleasing of all aircraft nominated thus far. The "Connie" would be close in there also. These planes seem to fly on the ground, or water.
