And yes - the LTs in that video WILL think of 2014 as "the good old days".
Video recording in USN T-6Bs is forbidden without Wing CO permission. Is there a similar rule for the USAF UPT bases? |
Probably don't ask, don't tell. So I'm gathering no more ecdysiast?

Without hesitation he scooped a fish into his mouth and off we went in a mad dash for the flightline (about 2 blocks IIRC).
We made it to the tank and watched as he spit the still alive fish into the tank. No sooner had our celebration of this fete began than so did the loud speakers and spot lights. It seems the SPs didn't find it so amusing (and they were just doing their jobs). We all got to "assume the position" facing the wall of the squadron while the SPs woke up the DO (I think it was the DO). At any rate, I seem to remember he put on a good show in front of the SPs and then cut us loose after the SPs left. I think the DO thought it was pretty funny and harmless, but he kept his "game face" on the whole time. To my knowledge, no disciplinary action was taken against anyone, but the "fish delivery" man lived in infamy for many weeks after that incident :) |

They will be well prepared for the air show circuit.
