Oh...blackshoe.......posing as an ADM....lololololol....btw...you spell Airedale like the dog.....not like the aviation community....lolololololSo...tell us...why 60 cruise missiles at an airfield then....and I'm a retired Airdale.. C-130s.....you?Oh yes...those cruise missiles (not rockets, genius)...that hit.....what? Runway in use the very next day....60 rockets went to Syria fuck tard. How many Americans rode them? ZERO you fucking idiot.
You should never claim to be a naval officer and make such absurdly idiotic statements. Tomahawks are not designed to damage runways that could be repaired easily in a few hours. You obviously have not made the effort to look at the pictures showing all of the massive damage to the aircraft and shelters at the airfield.
What was your specialty? GURL?
OMG, you can't even spell Airedale correctly! If you didn't ride ships, you were a civilian bus driver in uniform. Even P-3 jockeys ride the flattops.
I did it all, Enlisted Electronics Technician, served on an auxiliary ship, qualified submarines, served on a Marine amphib carrier, two guided missile cruisers, and a conventional aircraft carrier.
The closest I ever got to being an "airdale" was babysitting my recruiting district pilots by flying backseat in our T-34.
We had a C-130 pilot that I almost made him have to change his flight suit when I flew with him the first time. He didn't know that the other pilots before him taught me how to fly that little bird and and I did an aileron roll into a dive to our new altitude when directed by the ATC. He screamed like a little girl, but I came out right on altitude and heading that we were assigned. After that, he just sat in front and enjoyed the view.
BTW, I am not posing. That was my nickname even back in HS and I do bear a slight resemblance to that photo, which made my Dad very proud.
