• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Thanks, DL, for all that research!

I was with 83 from 79-80, and yes, I remember that tail paint with the full ram. During my stint with them, the squadron had a contest to choose a new ram head for the tail.

A young AMS2 (can't remember his name right now) won the contest. I do not have a picture of the design, but as I recall the ram head was moderniized. By that, I mean think "early" computer-generated?

The design was kind of a joke within the squadron. One of the Maintenance Control Senior Chiefs nicknamed it the "Disco Goat".

I will see if there is a picture in my cruise book. NC

I remember a then AZCS Hughes attached with VA-81/Made E9 and was my supervisor at NAS Memphis (DAC School)

They were with CAG-17 when I was with Forrestal back in 78-81.

CO V-83 then was CDR Rexford E. Wolf

Va-81 was also with us.

Still have wings to do and they are even different than the fuselage! :dizzy:
