"Petty Officer Cook, are you a f*cking tourist or have you a job to do? Lose the camera or I'll shove it up your *ss!"
Our leading Chief and I had a special relationship I still probably shouldn't have replied 'tourist'.

God love ya Jack, those are absolutely fantastic! And speaking as a modeler, that pic of the A-6E that's dead-level with the wing gives a perfect view of the slat and flap extension angles... I don't think I've seen a better pic showing that.

Thanks for these!

Cool Pics Jack. Glad you able to retrieve the camera & develop the pics.

Luckily the camera had a strap
I found 2 albums of pictures with about 150 more photos
