My duty assignment was Petty Officer in-charge of flight test office. Myself and three other enlisted received air crew status in A-4's and RA5C's. We flew back seat during flight tests as the planes were cycled out of rework. As far as I know we were the only enlisted to hold this flight status. All of us racked up stick time and touch-an-goes in the TA's it was the greatest time of my life!
