    Thanks for the interview with the admiral. Speaking of seaplanes, my father was on the aircrew of a PBM Mariner during WWII. It's a shame that there isn't a fully restored WWII era PBM in existence.

    I was working on the flightline in Beeville Texas in 1965 and helped train Jewish pilots! Then I was working on the flightdeck of the USS America during the 'Six Day War'! I loved every second of my time in the Navy! Thank You for your service Admiral!

    Dan it was a pleasure meeting you and speaking with you right after you did this interview with Admiral Gortney. (I see myself in the background there shopping for my FlyingEyes 😂 ) Yes I did buy some, with two different magnetic clip-ons: one polarized and one “G-15ish” grey. Loved this interview, love your channel.

    I used to work with Spock. Marine Aviator FA-18s and AV-8Bs. Can you guess how he got his call sign?

      Pointy ears, or raised one of his eyebrows high? ~8D

      @@johnnyliminal8032 Haha not quite but close. He had the demeanor and look of a Vulcan without the ears. He didn't show emotion much but had a killer sense of humor. He retired as a full colonel.
      He got a bit part in Top Gun Maverick.

    For $300,000 I’ll buy a used aerobatic airplane such as an Extra 300. That has a ‘beast’ of a motor.
