    • Nick,

      I was an Elint Operator and did 2 separate detachments on the Midway. The first one in late 1976/early 1977 (which I think was yours.) I then did a second Det in late ’77 which included the no fly Indian Ocean trip. Somewhere near the equator the tail fold hinge broke and we spent almost the entire cruise playing Acey-Duecy and performing corrosion control on the aircraft until it was craned off in Subic…

      Thanks for the blast from the past,
      Brian
