During the Final Cruise I launched about a hundred Titleist into the Eastern Bank...the Air Boss started complaining when we were aiming for the traffic on the Western Bank ^..^ Great Ship, great Shipmates and an honor to carry her legacy through to the final day!

@JPW1966. Nice little trip, huh? It was kind of strange; grass, trees, and people on one side, and nothing but sand, and old burned out tanks on the other. I was a V-1 "Yellow Shirt" in Fly-1 from 79 until 82. Later, Bro.

All I remember of this was the steel beach picnic they had on the flight deck. Good burgers till the huge horde of flies carried off the grill.
