The Blue Shark - This was the Shark that always hung in the squadron Duty Office. Other squadrons were always trying to steel the our mascot, and on a few occasions they were successful. We once found the shark painted entirely pink after being MIA for about a month. It was normally the job of the Bull Ensign to know where is was at all times. Not sure what ever became of our Shark after the decommissioning.

 Taken during an actual mission we were flying out of NAS Adak, Alaska during the winter of 1988. That's LT Allen sitting TACCO, LT Smith sitting NAV, and yours truly at the radar station on the end of the rail.
