Not sure what the Black Hawk was doing but feel pretty lucky I got to see it while on the deck of the USS Midway!

LCDR Brian "Bad Dog" Woods

A smaller world than I could have imagined....
So my name is the same as the US pilot shown in the photo..... Ok it was Charles Brian Woods..... But I was born in 1949, and finished high school in Ottawa Canada in 1967.......I tried joining the US Navy.... I wanted to fly..... Family was against it ...... So I didn't ...... The rest is history.... But when I saw the name.... I paused..... Such a small world.... Fly on "Bad Dog".....
