Oh I am sorry, I was under the impression this thread is about 80s hardware, not photography stock autism.

The 80s were a grand old time.

Did he take any pics...?

>>31413234

Yeah. I did too, since I was 15 when he transferred off to a desk job in Nevada as a sweet pre-retirement gig. They're all film, though, so I'd need to scan them to be able to post.

Remember this thing?

>>31413281

I did a Tiger Cruise on a Leahy-class cruiser (the Gridley) in 1985. Man that was tits. They never did one on the Jersey though.

>>31413286
Yep yep yep. It was a hypothetical Soviet stealth fighter that would up looking more like the F-117 than their swoopy-winged half-melted 'stealth fighter' did.

FRISBEES

OF

DREAMLAND

Although seriously Red Army was the better "Soviets invade the FRG" book.

I love how clunky tacticool stuff in the 80's looked. Problem is the typical grunt didnt have anything tacticool on him back then... Just a standard M16 and flak jacket....

The jets def. looked sexier though. F-15 and F-14, with all those Greebles...

>>31409215

I feel so bad for the German pilots who were forced fly that piece of shit.

>>31408944
You will never be Deployed in late 80's FRG, you will never face the front line of the communist meanece, you will never experience the best service of tour possible.
Why is life so cruel?
