• 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.

Rampagers


Great shot, Noddy! I was with the Rampagers from 1987-90, when they transitioned from Corsair IIs to Hornets, and deployed with them on the USS Saratoga (CV-60). I took a closer look at your screenshot.....and see the name of CDR "Dizzy" Gillespie on the side. He was skipper of VFA-83 when I transferred from the squadron in December of 90. The ship was in Haifa, Israel at the time. A ferry boat had capsized in the harbor, and 22 sailors from the ship drowned; one of them being a sailor who worked for me. I escorted his body back home to Albuquerque, and transferred to shore duty in Pensacola.
