The deluge of abuse and cat-calling that followed it was as unbelievable as the PA itself, and I usually ignore abuse of 121.5. Even my relatively staid captain was laughing.
Just another double breasted admiral trailing the leading edge of technology whose a legend in his own mind. That's all... nothing else to read. Besides himself and the other groupies, who gives a rat's a$$ about the carrier landings with exception of the landing ang grabbing the third wire of course.
time to give the carrier landings a rest or is it arrest.
