Hey Ordies(USN AO types)

Modeling Subjects Aircraft

While I was going through my F-14 photos, Reddog mentioned how he was getting “homesick”, so I thought I’d put up a few for him , Warlock, and any other Ordies out there. Just a reminder of what it was like back “in the day”[swg]. I can remember helping the Ordies( or BB stackers as they were also known as [;)]) load Sparrows on the Hornets in the morning before flight ops while I was a blueshirt on the Midway. Those AO guys had it pretty hard. Lots of back breaking work. Almost as tough as it was for us in the Air Dept![(-D]

I like the “Snakes” on the A-6. A little “Nape” for seasoning sauce and you have the complete meal.

Eddie,

Thanks for posting them. Brings back lots of memories of loading bombs, now my back hurts.[:D]

Again, thanks for posting, it’s been a while since I’ve seen the deck.
