USS Saratoga CV-60 Flight Ops December 1991 

I remember the jp5 bug juice and showers.

Hi Jake, "Airman" Cline here! Amazing to hear from you! I began the main HS-9 Sea Griffins veterans page on Facebook way back in 2009. Please look for us there under "Sea Griffins of HS-9 (Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron Nine)" and please request to join. We would LOVE to invite you back into the Griff fold! Command Master Chief Kline and I are the Admins of the group. We have over 250 former Griff's with us, and we'd love for you to join us, Jake! Please find us! Thanks, Chris Cline

Thank you, glad it brought back the good memories! Yeah, as hard as it could be, I really miss those days! Thank you for your service, as well!

Thank you!

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for your service!

Yeah, we had Hawkeyes! They're in there someplace!

Thanks, I appreciate that!

Thanks!

Sorry, I wasn't an AO! To me, one missile is very much like another. Torpedo's and door guns were my armaments of choice!

Yes they did

40 years passed... mom called me kinder surpriz. May be I'm not a mothers kid. 1982...??? May be not. Father kuibishev vertolet kurumich aerodrom.

Indeed!

Japan attacked Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941. 50th Anniversary !

I was not an AO and one missile looks very much like another to me and I obviously misidentified that Sparrow as an AMRAAM, but I'm not going to delete this video just to re-edit it again to fix that very MINOR point. I have been told several times that it wasn't an AMRAAM now...Yes, I know, THANKS.

@@shadowwolfone4898 nobody was telling you to change it. I think it’s hilarious that you felt it necessary to berate me with two separate accounts- Chris Cline and this one. Settle the fuck down dude. Maybe pot instead of booze from now on.

@@shadowwolfone4898 😂

We did not carry them. That was a Sparrow.

ADC here.

Saratoga was a Forrestal class not a Midway class I was on Coral Sea and I served on Saratoga of the Forrestal class

@@danabergman4052 >> Right, I was thinking of Coral Sea. Ageless Warrior?

My friend had a mounted car phone in 91.

All I had was a gameboy.

Not sure what in this video prompted the question about cell phones in 1991, but YES, we had cell phones in 1991, in fact, we had cell phone well back into the 80's. If you had one of what we referred to as the "brick" phones, which were made by Motorola, big, gray with a big black external antenna, they had very good range, and, if you knew how, you could connect them to cell signals if you were close enough offshore to cities which had cell towers and could make calls home. Guys used to make bank selling airtime to other sailors. Cell phones aren't that new a technology. We had email, too!😉

Radio shack was making them for autos back then. They were bulky and huge.

Sorry, I wasn't an AO. One missile looks very much like another to me. Torpedoes and door guns were my armaments of choice. They clearly aren't normal AIM-7's. I know what those look like.
