Seriously said the "F" word so many times through this, while laughing along with this HEART in the throat story.. Then the heartfelt tears whelled in my eyes, yet another Great man lost to that bloody war with cancer.. 😢 Once again Sir & ALL, PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE 🙏 My Heart felt THANK YOU for your Service & Sacrifices.. Fly Navy👍⚓ Tomcats. FOREVER!
Multi million dollar airplane with all kinds of gee-whizz stuff on it but the boy scout wet compass got you home. You would do well to learn how to use all that stuff without wires hooked to it, got a whizz wheel and a slip stick?
You got that metal for continuing on mission beyond all adversities and pretty much against All odds. You were able to egress without getting your 6 shot off. And you were able to bring the assets back home, including your 6 and your rio 6. Mission was complete. Awesome story of Truth 💯🇺🇸⚓🩵
Wow , that's crazy. Thanks for your service ! BZ . Me USN active duty DD-876 '74 to '79 , Portland OR . BT3 - BT2 . I also after I got out operated boilers & turbine on the ferry landing GTMO '82 - '86. When there was better water and electrical services. Edit , I'm also a Canadian on a green card.
You got a medal for getting unlost.
These guys are the best of America. Not just brave but humble, generous. You can see it in their eyes.
You got a medal for going on the Mission , and not losing My Tomcat, LOL
Great story. You didn't get a medal for getting lost. You got a medal for getting unlost, in an airplane with a piss poor nav system. Congrats.

Those KA-6Ds were some popular tankers. I've heard they often crossdecked between carriers.
Proud to have been on the America as F14a PC!!
Man, thats got all manner of Murphy's Law showing up. Im glad there was a limit to that, that fortune would favor them in the end.
That’s to funny👍. Good story
Amazing story! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
And Sir I personally thought you received the medal for getting back HOME!!
Awesome you bet
