I watched a video on FB where they were tearing an EA-6B apart to scrap her. BUNO 158807. The second prowler I ever flew. It was like watching a bunch of thugs go at your first car with baseball bats, or burning down the house you grew up in.
I try not to be on FB on the weekends. But it was my grand-nephews birthday, so I went looking to see birthday pics. I instead got a mild case of heartbreak.
Things shouldn’t matter. But to sailors they do. The ships we sailed, the jets we flew. We invested a part of our souls in inanimate objects.
