Six of us Line Officers had a bunkroom adjacent to a couple Fly Boys aboard the USS Constellation during the Viet Nam War in 1972. The pilot, Lt. Randy Cunningham and his Radar Intercept Operator Ltjg. Driscoll would keep us awake all night with their antics. They became the first Aces of the war on one particular day. Talk about party animals! They made the movie "Top Gun" look like kids play. Scott Oh, what ever happened to Randy Cunningham? Well, they hustled him off the ship the next day to tour the US and encourage enlistment, etc. He became an instructor at the Top Gun school before leaving military service. Now, he is non other than Congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham. (and if I know anything about our elected officials, the party just began) RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
