I did attend US Army reunions, but drug abuse, alcohol, divorces, suicides had taken its toll of the ranks....

Here's what happens when an arrester cable snaps during a Hornet landing, both for the pilot & the deck crew. Have never seen this before!

He Ain't Gonna Jump No More song

This song goes by various titles: "Blood on The Risers" or "I'd Like to Find the Sargeant", or another variant is "He'll Never Fly Home Again", etc. But they all have the same chorus - "Gory, Gory what a hell of a way to die". All variants are to the tune of John Brown's Body. This is one if not the best version I've found. Apparently this song is played every day at Fort Bragg in the US.
