[MRCG] MRCG 2015 wrap-up

[Michael Bittner]

These are my heroes from WWII -  the rear seat guys running the radios, comm 
and nav, plus air-to-air gunnery.  Scary place to be when a zero has you in 
his gunsight.  See attachments.

Yes, I thought the Old Crows was about Electronic Warfare and included 
civilian as well as military people involved in that effort.

GO NAVY
