Navy Chief said:
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.

Found this ugly Sluffling in the archives back before Christmas and thought...why not? Talk about a mish-mash of colors!

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