l O O 0 03 rllillrlsloim Led by LCDR Les Downs, LEXINGTON weather- guessers stay out of harms way mostly by being on the O7 level. Aerographer mates' school, it is rumored, also includes a course in How to Get Along With People Who Do Not Like the Weather. This game is based on science, intuition, and luck. Flying is the purpose of our Air Group-but to fly, and fly safely the pilot must know the weather-at the ship, at his destination. No one factor determines air operations as much as the weather does. High points for OA Division during the l96l-2 cruise were Willie shipping for the cruise and loving every minute of it, Duff finding his coFfee cup after a five day search, midnight cemetary visits, and Yant falling in love lbut that is a separate storyl. Low points were generally reached the day after the night before, duty days, and the day before payday. Our motto: A day's work for a day's pay. weaitlllcezr chief dorsey balloon launch
