Frank Rizzio , AR | My ribs are still sore from climbing down the intake of these aircraft checking for FOD damage during pre-flight and maintenance while attached to VX-4 NAS Pt. Mugu in 1977-1981. My last turn-up before discharge was in an A-4. I went ahead and took it to mil. power on the ramp just for orneriness, and knowing it would be the last time. :-) 01/31/2002 @ 10:44 [ref: 4225] |
