[MilCom] Fwd: [MilRadioComms] USS Ike COMPTUEX still active tonight

USS Ike aircraft have been working since early  this morning.
     When the range weather was not right for them,  they conducted 
simulated missions with Bluetail. When the weather  permitted, Bluetail controlled 
them in work over Pinecastle Range.  They  are still going now, at 9:08pm 
EST.
     I just heard a great conversation between  McConnell AFB KC-135 "Turbo 
92" and Oceana VFA-143 "Dog 43" while their AAR was  going on.
     When Dog 43 passed his tail number (166603), he  IDd as a member of 
the "World Famous Pukin Dogs."  The pilot of Turbo 92  asked him what he 
meant, and Dog 43 said "I am with VFA-143; we are known as the  World Famous 
Pukin Dogs."
     Turbo 92 asked him "How did you ever get that  nickname?"
     Dog 43 explained: "Years ago we were flying  Panthers and one day 
someone made a paper mache statue of a panther, with  wings, and displayed it in 
the Officers Club. Someone saw it and said 'That  looks like a pukin dog.' 
>From then on we called ourselves the World Famous Pukin  Dogs.
