Ken,
Believe me I have plenty of No Grade Ones to my name. The boat was the Carl Vinson on Valentines of last year somewhere off San Diego. One of those nights when you hear loads of guys coming back into the bolter/ wave off pattern and realise that flying the crester isn't going to cut it. Plenty of 'Easy with it's' on the R/T. The two jets in front of me ended up at North Island - so I guess I was the stupid one!
