DN-SC-87-02806

A view of an A-6B Intruder aircraft pilot from Tactical Electronic Warfare Squadron 138 (VAQ-138) during flight operations.

Photographer's Name: PH1 RONALD BENO

Location: UNKNOWN

Date Shot: 11/10/1986










JOURNAL ARCHIVE: 03/09/07 3:39 AM
I wonder if that pilot flying the A-6 I was in that was shot down on 2/14/86 was named Ken Morgan. In my symbolic "memories," Ken Morgan was a guy who lived off Hicks Road between our house and


I "remember" that Ken had some kind of little car that was not unlike Comet, but I can't "remember" the make Ken drove. It might have been a Mustang II, which I think was very different than the Mustang. But I "remember" it was a butt-ugly yellowish-green kind of color. I also "remember" that Ken liked to pull back the emergency brake when he was driving because it would cause the car to spin around a few times. I have this visualization in my mind of sitting there talking to him in that car and I can picture him half-looking at me as he had his hand on the emergency brake and saying he was going to pull it. But he must not have because I don't "remember" the car spinning around. What is really odd about that "memory" is that it is right around the point on Hicks Road where Michael died. He was driving in the opposite direction than we were. Michael drifted off the right side of the road, his right turned got caught in a narrow utility ditch that had been dug along the side of the road, he over-corrected, which then caused his pickup to spin around and off the other side. When his pickup hit a tree on the right side, he was thrown across the cab and broke his skull on the right side door. He was there a few hours before any one found him.

US Navy Commodore Ross: Colonel McQueen, your flight status is grounded.

US Marine Corps Lieutenant Colonel T.C. McQueen: Yes, sir, this is due to the surgical insertion in the inner ear of a myoelectronic feedback device to counter the vestibulocochlear nerve damage sustained in battle, sir.

Doc!
Marty, I gave you explicit instructions not to come here...
...but to go directly back to 1985.
I know, but I had to come.
It's good to see you, Marty.
You've got to do something about those clothes.
- Dressed like that, you're liable to get shot. - Or hanged.

Memorable quotes for

Flight of the Intruder (1991)


Court-Martial Captain: You took an oath, Mr. Cole. You, too, Mr. Grafton. You took an oath to defend the constitution and obey the orders of the officers appointed over you. It's the same oath that every officer in the navy has taken for damn near 200 years. And during all that time, the military has obeyed the civilian elected government. Now, they might not have always been right, or wise... or even smart, but they were elected. Any other way and the United States would be nothing more than another two-bit military dictatorship.


[ US Navy Court-Martial Admiral: ] Why did you do this, Cole? An officer with your fine record? Did you think you were going to win the war?
