"TINS" Tales Great tales, traditions and lore of Naval Aviation; preferably from the Scooter World, are presented here. A noble tradition has evolved over ninety years of Happy Hour story telling, that is, all Naval Aviation Stories DO NOT start with: "Once upon a time." Naval Aviaton Happy Hour stories start with:"This Is No Sh_t!"--or TINS (for short). If you have a "TINS" Tale to tell, contact the Webmaster! So in the finest tradition of the Sea Aviation Service, join us now for absolutely true TINS TALES. Pour a cool one, grab a stool and lend an ear. But be aware, could be some salty dialogue ahead.
