On the lighter side
from Parrothead Jeff by Glenn Cassel AMH1(AW) USN Retired | Since the news as reported is a bit on the fugly side, I will refer back to Jeff's posting of a rather pristine, sexy Attack Guppy. Otherwise know as a T-2B for sale for some ungodly amount of money. As the pictures showed, it had new stuff in the panel that was not standard equipment. The above photo is what they looked like when I was in VT-26 so many years ago. I held a low power turn qualification so I did spend a fair amount of time in this place. That bump you see between the rudder pedals is the aft end of the nose wheel well.It is hard to see but the rudder pedals carry the original North American Aviation Logo. Not Rockwell and the NA/Rockwell hybrid or Rockwell/Boeing. Even the schmucks in Seattle weren't that stupid. Too many of us turned wrenches on this airplane or some 11,000 student Naval Aviators took there first jet flight and trap and cat shot in it to mess with tradition. Various versions of this airplane were in service for 40 years! I say again, 40 years. Pinch, Lex and myself have a soft spot in our hearts for this little jet and always will. For me, it was the first Navy jet that I actually worked on. And if Buck gets around to reading this, the paperwork sometimes took way longer than the fix on one of these.(insert Bronx Cheer) The TSGT will understand! Cherry Max rivets, a 30 bit and a reamer are amazing things!
