You’re right - A friend of mine retired from the Navy as an AD (engine mech) and worked at Hawkins and Powers in Greybull, WY on them until they shut down. http://www.ruudleeuw.com/greybull.htm I saw a P2V Neptune fire bomber somewhere not that long ago … conflating memories...

I think there was a P2V Neptune a few years back that had a wing failure. Grounded that fleet (permanently), IIRC? Then wasn’t there a spotter plane that also had a wing fail a couple of years ago?

To echo Sac Arrow's reminiscence ... I spent a lot of years on DEC VAX running VMS. The software for the E-2 Hawkeye (B and C models at least) backend was written/maintained in C on VMS, then compiled/assembled down to run as Litton assembler on the L-304. The test lab backend simulator ran...

Years ago I worked for Oracle and we had a backdoor code word to get directly to an internal product support tree when we called in from a customer site. I would occasionally get asked how we managed to bypass the 50 questions and multiple callbacks when the customer called in a support issue...

Happy Birthday, Mike. And I have to say I'm greatly relieved to open the thread and see that the contents are "BIRTHDAY!" ... I've lost 3 friends this week and have had my fill of bad news. Go celebrate, since none of us are guaranteed tomorrow!

And yet ... "No plan survives first contact with the enemy" - Helmuth von Moltke In 1961 “The Desert Generals” by Correlli Barnett contained a concise instance ascribed to Moltke:Rommel took Moltke’s view that “no plan survives contact with the enemy”. If his plan got him into battle, it was...
