NAVY VIGNETTE

Navy squadrons VR-6 and VR-8
joined the Berlin Airlift last No
vember and were kidded consider
ably for their nautical terminol-
ogy by their Air Force colleagues.
The Air Force soon learned that
the deck is the Navy term for
the runway, that port is left and
starboard right, that the R5D is a
C-54, that an airplane is what they
call ship, and that a head is a
latrine.
1t. Ormond c. Fowler, USN,
learned that the Air Force does
not consider wheels" to be an
automobile. He TAXED into his
hard-stand, or parking ramp, at
Rhein-main one morning after a
flight to Berlin, called the tower,
and requested that a set OF
wheels" be sent out to the plane.
The tower "rogered." When Fow-
Ter cut the engines of his RID, he
saw, not the crew pickup he had
expected, but a set of nose and
main gear wheels for the R5D.
