"I am AE3 "Michael P" Walsh. I remember that F-4 crash I was standing in the aft starboard catwalk, waiting for the trap to be over to go do some D+Ts. Scared dosen=t describe it!"
"My friend, let me tell you, I have had the 3 most dangerous jobs in the world. High steel worker, under ground tunnel blaster, and flight deck at nite. Believe me when I tell you, flight ops at nite are the only thing I ever did that on more than…"
"I would be interested. I'd like to see some of the guys and see if we could track down some more. Have you noticed that we have more members in VA-85 than any other outfit? We must be a hellofabunch good memory makers!?
WALSH 72-76"
"After you got out, in fact the next cruise, an AT airman dropped about 45,000 dollars worth of Top Secret gear off the wing in the same "sneak spot" on the flight deck. It too went to Davey Jones, along with both cheeks of the young mans ass!"
"I often wonder what happened to him. I have looked every where I can think of. CMDR R C Allen made ADM but died a little while ago. Griff(AE ROOF RAT) is in VA."
Hey Michael, it just dawned on me who you are....I remember now that we were in either Palma or Athens when some of your family came to visit you over there. I remember thinking how cool that would be to go on leave and be with my family in Europe. After I made the connection, I clicked on your page and looked at your pics. You really haven't changed a bit. Of course we're all in our 50's or so but you're one who hasn't changed in appearance. You and your family have a Happy Thanksgiving.
