Hogsnort,

Then it was Grenada because thats about it,before my time there but they did fly 2 missions over the island and only dropped like 2 bombs and maybe a few 100 rds of 30mm.
Spud and those other old \"Red Dogs\" before the \"Golden Flow\" would know.

Jbpig,

Yup, we had our days from 1300 to 0100 which might as well been \"Noon to Midnight\"
I know we hot pitted alot of Lawndarts thats why you always said \"I got a Broke jet were working\" to keep out of it, then you just pulled Guard Duty out in the \"South Lands\" next to the Pit area.

I got a message from \"Jimmy\" this morning and he says he was in the chow hall when they \"POPPED THE MAV\" so now I'm really confussed me because Auddie was with me for SURE I'm just trying to figure out who the other was? He even thinks it happened right before the War too.
So if it did happen before the war it happened between 01/12/91 to 01/16/91 because we wouldnt of had Live Mav's on birds only ALERT Birds.

I'll track this down .

It was a Msgt. from NAS New Orleans who fired the Mav. It was a week or so after the war started, don't remember the exact date. He was using a ck list that allowed you to call up the mav and ck the video, all of us used it but never pressed the launch button. He said he turned to look at the mav and hit the button on accident. In his defense, the ignitor cable was still hooked up when he was checking it out. After that, all the ignitor cables were unhooked after that. 184 Ck good, sign it off.

Well thanks for popping in Renegade, that sheds more light on it.

The whole thing was such a \"HUSH HUSH\" that when I first got on this board I had a couple of folks me then later on others started talking about it and so far we have just the pictures of the wall and the hole it made, But hearing from others that pictures of the MAV in the wall are out there but the is Where?

I think I may have one. That will take some digging to find. Most of my DS era stuff is buried somewhere. Everyone knew about it, every time I went TDY someone would ask " aren't you the guys who launched the Mav." and I would have to tell the story. It just didn't get out in public very far. Guy was an old supervisor who was back to a worker because of a RIF, He hired me back in 1989 and retired in 1998 or 1999, he has since passed away.
