It's /gee-soot/ not /jez-ooh-it/.
Really no story there, just a screen name left over from Ultima Online game. Call sign was 'Hands'...and quite a story there! R-rated mistaken identity.
I'll tell it to ya at a fly-in sometime.

Naval Aviator
My dad is out of town right now or he would post for himself, so here is an incomplete list based on what I know...
SNJ, T-28, F9F, AD5W, AD-6, E-1B (WF2), SNJ, P-80, T-34, EC-121 (WV-2), A-4, A-6, Military version of the Beaver, Royal Navy Gannet AEW version (Brit exchange pilot)...etc, etc.
He was bascially the Chief Stan/Eval check pilot in the Navy's last EC-121 in 1976 when he retired (VAQ-33) and he'd fly out to Davis-Monthan AFB, AZ twice a year to grab parts from the "bone yard" to keep the thing flying!
He built an RV-7A a few years ago and sold it so I need to get my 9A finished so we can go do some cruising and hang out at airshows once in a while!

...same way same day...
Many years ago, when I was a young aspiring USAF pilot in training in south Georgia just north of Pensacola, the definition of a Naval Aviator (in formation) was one of group of pilots flying the same way on the same day.
Times have changed, that probably isn't true any more.

JR, didn't know you were an RV guy, or I woulda been talking RVs with you at 'Hook and offering you a ride while you are in Reno! This year for sure (if you can break away...and thanks for your leadership on 'Hook!)
