-03:59:38 "Watch your six, STONEY." GO for crew departure
« on: November 01, 2024, 08:53:23 am »
STONEY Paul Weitz gives the go for crew departure to Skip Chauvin. Vance Brand then chimes in.

It's worth noting that both Weitz and Brand were Naval aviators, thus the friendly and jovial warning, "watch your six".

Note Apollo 13 preceded Top Gun by about 16 years, and the use of that phrase in the armed forces as a "keep your eyes out/watch your back" type warning has persisted for even longer!
