Fun, well yeah thats him alright, short a*se too. He came back to school the same year as one of our AAC guys, both with Gazelles, and when Dan arrived he went straight up, whipped the tail over to show the bright orange “Fly Navy” sign and the AAC Major just stood there shaking his head. Bex

I was with 814 Squadron (ASW Seakings) in the early nineties so I may have come across him then. I was the Squadron Controller (tactical/radar) so got quite close to some of the aircrew. There was a lot of ‘fun’ guys around but the serious people (senior pilots & observers) played the prefect role very enthusiastically!!……………….everyone has their place in the FAA.:D

Ken,
Long shot time, but does a SHar Flyboy by the name of Dan Denham ring any bells? Cant remember the Sqn hes in though, but he joined FAA in 94? Bex
If it does, I’ll see if I can find some photos of his early “Service Career” LoL
No Bex, I left in 95…….sorry. Name does ring a bell, was he a chopper jockey initially?

WAFUs
Good old ‘WAFUs’. For those of you not familiar with the term it is a supposedly friendly name used by general service to describe a FAA service person. We in turn called them ‘Fisheads’ (I transferred to the FAA in 1991).
Wet And ******* Useless.:eek:
