I even have a few former shipmates from Air Wing Five when they were on Midway. And I did two on Ranger way back when. And if the funds allow, I want to eat at Anthony's. The last time I was there was when I graduated from boot camp! That was December of 1973, yikes!!!!!!!!! Sounds like a good idea!

Good days 8) And I even got to tour the Ranger when they were still giving tours of active carriers :) One of these days we'll have to go down to USS Midway in San Diego!

Sorry Kath, it's a Nav Air Thing.I remember when VFA-25 was VA-25 in Carrier Air Wing 2, embarked in The Good Ship Ranger. I was in VA-145, operating the Mighty Grumman A-6 Intruder. The Fighting Redcocks were VA-22 way back when. and in the same Air Wing as VA/VFA-94, The Mighty Shrikes. This was the outfit that Lex was the CO of. His first being VFA-25, The Fist of The Fleet. The B-52 is BUFF and the A-7 is SLUF, Short Little Ugly, you get the picture. And I am with Pinch on one thing, there ain't no real fighters out there anymore in the Fleet. And the Fleet Fighter when I enlisted and went to sea on The Good Ship Independence was the F-4J. And all hands may now make fun of my dating myself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
