Brownshoes In Action Comix
Ward Carroll"The kind real aviators like"
The LSO debrief was a bit unorthodox as the young aviator In question was forced to empty his navbag ...
"What's this? Does this tape belong to you?"
Bingo ...
[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]
The CAG LSO noticed a disturbing trend In one of the second-cruise lieutenants ...
"Just like his last ten passes: low flat all the way, overpowered in close, four-wire on the fly, no-grade."
It was only a hunch ...
"Yeah. I listen to it during alerts. What about it?"
"SDO, play this tape backwards, if you please."
(Fortunately, the Coffee Mess Officer had had the foresight to procure a tape deck for the ready room with backwards-play capability.)
Subliminal messages were the culprit ...
"Thanks, Paddles. I owe you one."
"Just keep it off the ramp and stick with safe music, shipmate."
