I did work ups with Rammies and Sunliners back in 89-90 when I was a RIO with the VF- 143 Pukin’ Dogs on the Ike. Then became a RAG instructor with VF-101 Grim Reapers in 1990, retreaded to pilot and was with VF-142 Ghostriders on the G.W, VF-21 Freelancers on the Indy & VF-103 (Jolly Rogers) on the Enterprise, then I flew the T-45 at NAS Kingsville, the T-2 at NAS Pensacola, retired and went airlines.
