This lecture from July 2019 (and posted this past September) just appeared in my YouTube suggestions. It is almost an hour and twenty minutes, but worth the watch when one finds the time.

Dale Snodgrass is a legend in the F-14 Tomcat community. Growing up on Long Island, with families that worked at Grumman, and then as a docent at the Cradle of Aviation around many of those from Grumman, the Snodgrass name (both his and his father's) were often mentioned.

I'm somewhat surprised this was not been posted by the Smithsonian.

Since this is the aviation forum, no doubt most recognize the name. For those that don't, you might recognize a photo of Snort Snodgrass flying a Tomcat...

In my next life I’ll earn my wings of gold.

Snort?  Of the Pukin' Dogs?  Neat!

Snort has done a lot of crazy shit over the years, but the man is the real deal.

I interviewed with Snort (by Snort?) at Draken 5 or 6 years ago, and it is the only civilian job interview that finished up with a trip to the company bar.
