This picture was taken at ( I can't spell to save my life ) Kadena AFB sometime on 312's 1984 West Pac. What memories.
This picture was shot by a RIO in another bird. If am correct we just left Wake Island. Our next stops were K-Bay, yuma, and last Beaufort.
To all you wingers out there. Happy Thanksgiving. Its nice to have a decent meal without the smell of JP4 or 5 in the air.
Yeah, but you gotta admit, it's a good smell to wake up to.Quote:

...you should know about the First Marine Aircraft Wing Association. The homepage is: http://www.firstmaw.homestead.com/
Under the forum index you will find a "Units Section" with all the different MAG's.
The group's next reunion will be in 2009 in Beaufort, SC.
I was Ch46E Airframer
HMM-263 (before it crossed over to the darkside) MCAS New River
HMM-262 Okinawa Japan
HMM-365 MCAS New River
I was attached to the folowing units:
VMFA-451 (the Warlords) MCAS Beaufort, Powerline shop, 1994-1997
VMFA(AW)-332 (the Moonlighters) MCAS Beaufort, Powerline shop, 1997-1997

VMFA-115 (the Silver Eagles) MCAS Beaufort, Powerline shop and Corrosion Control SNCOIC, 2001-2005
All the above units flew F/A-18's. VFA-125 is a training squadron and therefore has the A/B/C/D models of the Hornet.
There is also a Navy Hornet squardon on MCAS Beaufort as well. It is VFA-86.
The other units on MCAS Beaufort are as follows: VMFA-115, VMFA-122, VMFA-251, VMFA(AW)-224, VMFA(AW)-332, VMFA(AW)-533, and VMFA-312.
