What time frame? Is it 1980-1983 time frame? I'm guessing in the 70s cause he did mention that it had something to do with the USS enterprise in the BOB area. It was supposed to be done with a good deal of support from the soviets, a brigade level op :shock: But could've been later too. Regards, CM.

I had written a piece once, but was told not to go ahead with it. That was that. Perhaps it indeed is best that the res...

This taxi business reminds me of an airshow I went to in Terre Haute, IN. They had some F14s come in and do some moves and simulate carrier landing ops.
