I'd almost forgotten the "station wagon" moniker! Ha! - I have not forgetten the hassle of taking the "canoes" off the jammer pods! Formerly attached to VAQ-309 Axemen (AKA - Axe-murders) - and I thought it was "tradition" for air-wingers to call the ship a "boat" (as a "jab" at the "blackshoes") - at least it was with the units I was attached to.
Great job on the video

I called it a boat, too, like ask a BM " How do you get to the pointy end of this boat"
I was with VA-35 Black Panthers back in '73-'75
