HOW TO BE MARRIED TO A MARINE FIGHTER PILOT- A Marine Corps pilot's wife: F-4s, F/A-18s and aviators from my perspective. Wednesday, January 12, 2011. Aviation Brief XX: Quick Change #2. They held the Change of Command ceremony the next morning in the Group CO’s office, without a marching band or printed programs, presided over by the frown of the Group Commander, and with the outgoing CO conspicuously absent. How can we get where we want to be? May all our marriages make it home without ejections, witho...

HOW TO BE MARRIED TO A MARINE FIGHTER PILOT- A Marine Corps pilot's wife: F-4s, F/A-18s and aviators from my perspective. Wednesday, March 7, 2012. Captain Carroll LeFon USN (retired) RIP. It's not a penny found on the street. Scuffed, darkened and pocketed. It requires penny after penny after penny. Of time and thought and laughter. Accumulated in a Mason jar in the kitchen sunshine. I carried the jar. Toward the maple table to count moments,. To plan a shared splurge when the phone rang. So good of you...

This reminds me of that commercial where people are in extremely uncomfortable situations and the voiceover says, “Want to get away? 8221; However, the people are not at risk of dying like a pilot with a malfunctioning aircraft, they are only at risk of dying of embarrassment. I almost died from the dread of what m...

HOW TO BE MARRIED TO A MARINE FIGHTER PILOT- A Marine Corps pilot's wife: F-4s, F/A-18s and aviators from my perspective. Friday, February 25, 2011. I Know Him Too Well. He’s never invited to our table, on base, in housing, with the kids. He is not welcome to knock on my door, nor my neighbors’ doors. Nor my friends’, nor wanted on a visit to anyone I know. Yet he sneaks in anyway. Or blows in on a scrap of paper. Or on the evening news. Or in a chance phone call. The warm hand of a rabbi, priest, pastor.

HOW TO BE MARRIED TO A MARINE FIGHTER PILOT- A Marine Corps pilot's wife: F-4s, F/A-18s and aviators from my perspective. Wednesday, December 29, 2010. Aviator Brief XIX: Flying At Any Cost. Maintenance officers appreciated pilots who got a plane home to be worked on. If it could be flown safely- fly it. Some weak dick pilots and RIOs downed their ride for every little hydraulic fuel leak. Phantoms were elderly planes- they all leaked a little bit. Get some balls, fergodssake. Unfortunately, back-pressur...

HOW TO BE MARRIED TO A MARINE FIGHTER PILOT- A Marine Corps pilot's wife: F-4s, F/A-18s and aviators from my perspective. Wednesday, March 10, 2010. Aviator Brief IX: Compromising Positions. In the Phantoms needed each other. Each had their tasks to accomplish. Each watched out for the bogey and other bad things heading their way. Pilots have saved RIO’s lives with spiffy flying. Backseaters. Have saved their pilots’ asses by seeing what they couldn. 8217;t, or command-ejecting both when the front- seater.

HOW TO BE MARRIED TO A MARINE FIGHTER PILOT- A Marine Corps pilot's wife: F-4s, F/A-18s and aviators from my perspective. Saturday, August 21, 2010. Aviator Brief XV: Swim Quals and Sea Monsters. Trigger dreaded swim quals. Raised in inland Texas, comfortable on horseback, roping calves, and comfortable training pilots from his rear seat in the airplane, he could barely manage to keep his head above water even in a pair of swim trunks, much less in a flight suit, g-suit, seat harness and flight boots.

HOW TO BE MARRIED TO A MARINE FIGHTER PILOT- A Marine Corps pilot's wife: F-4s, F/A-18s and aviators from my perspective. Tuesday, November 30, 2010. Aviator Brief VII: No Guts, No Glory. Three hundred seagulls funneled into a jet engine were a problem of compressibility. Blood and feathers, guts and bones don’t pack well into the relatively small space of a Phantom’s engine. The CO of the squadron appreciated the decision to divert, preventing a potential public relations disaster. He also appreciat...
