[Rhodes22-list] Carrier landings - Doing it and Observing it

[BenCittadino]

Rummy;

If you don't mind saying, what years did you ride in the tank? I'm also
curious about the temperature inside them in the summer or hot climates?
A/C? In any event, thanks for your service. (Same to you Bob.)  Bob, were
you an aircrew member? What types?
