hated to see it, but the Navy was turning these into drones while I was in to use as targets. Very sad to see these planes lift off knowng they would become an artificial reef. They were awesome planes though!

Us Navy, 1966 through 1970, served most of the time on a Tin Can. Bubba, thanks for your service. I lost some good friends who were in the "Brown Water Navy."

Seasonal Park Ranger, US National Park Service, Wilson's Creek National Battlefield.
While the NPS is by no means military, I joined the NPS to serve my country & to make sure that the soldiers of the Civil War and their sacrifices are not forgotten.
As I ranger, I have worked a great deal with various members of the armed forces in regards to military staff rides which use military history in a modern-day application.
Lest we forget.
