Actually we came into Quonset from Norfolk where the ship was having some repairs. I ended up going with out proper permission. We landed in Quonset that evening and parked the plane, and folded it's wings. During the night they received the worst blizzard that they had recieved in 56 years. There was 36" with 10 foot drifts. Needless to stay we were stuck in Quonset and I was there without permission from my Unit leader. It took over a week before we could defrost the plane enough to unfold the wings. Luckily I had a great relationship with my Unit leader and he covered for me while I was AWOL. He couldn't fly and Navigate so I usually flew and Navigated for him when he had the fly duty. The Navy says that all shipboard Naval aviators have to be able to fly & navigate the COD. So I was covering for him since he really couldn't fly the plane. I even had to start the stupid thing for him.
