Same for A3D
As Hoser put it when asked if he ever flew an A-3D
“They tried to make me fly that piece of **** at Key West when I checked in to the Squadron. After a few fam flights in it I decided that a carrier plane with no ejection seats and an air cycle machine in the cockpit that a had a bad habit of coming unglued and frying the crew was not my cup a tea. Besides it weren’t no fighter”.
Apparantly Navy Pilots called the A-3D all three dead
