Ranger Barricade

By lex, on January 15th, 2012

Bug Roach was the Landing Signal Officer.

I met him, a few times. Delightfully informal, a perpetual lieutenant commander, a peerless LSO.

Died when his A-4 flamed out and the ejection seat failed to catapult him clear of the tail. His final words prior to bailout were, “This sucks.”
