Country: | When I was in grammar school, my best friends dad was a P-3 pilot in the USNR. He used to tell us stories about "care packages" that were dropped into the water near Soviet subs with chocolates and other items. I guess they were enticing them to surface.

Country: | YEP - THROUGH THE FREE-FALL CHUTE! Actually it was fun to empty all the trash on the plane after a 9 hour patrol into the free fall chute, fly over a Sovier Trauler, and let er drop!

Country: | One of my favorite stories like that from the cold war was an F-=4 crew that intercepted a bear bomber. They pulled up along side and the Russian crew held up a picture of a Russian pin-up girl. Over the radio, the Russian said "This is most beautiful girl in Soviet Union". It was reported that she was not that pleasing to the eyes. The back seater in the F-4 held up a playboy centerfold and said "This is the ugliest girl in America, perhaps you defect, comrade?"!!!
I don't know if it was true or an urban legend. Either way, it's a funny story.

Country:  | Yeah Fly I'm an ex-destroyer dude myself, training for SUB duty. 
Seems weird in a way. My first three ships were ASW frigates, so it feels like I'm switching to the other team. | |
