Wow. That's a direct quote from one of my carpet dances. Had never heard that before. Didn't know it was a NATOPS thing (what's NATOPS by the way?), but that's exactly what the guy said...
NATOPS = Naval Aviation Training and Operating Procedures Standardization.


Basically the difference between the Navy and The Air Force. In the Air Force (especially SAC), if the regulations don't say you can do it, then you can't do it. In the Navy, if it's not specifically prohibited....
