i hope this is military enough. i do have a squadron tee shirt on.
also, i'm sure a lot of us remember the salty dog.

his post flight comments,
"when i grow up, i wanna be just like you, grandpa."
to which i replied,
"you can't do both, son."

Haha! That little guys very lucky having a grandpa like you flaps. I would have to say that if he was laughing during aerobatics, he's gonna follow in grandpa's footsteps. I have my grandpa to thank for my love for aviation too. He took me for my first airplane ride on my sixth b-day, I never forgot that day.

Scarface's Final Flight
Marines with Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 367 pilot UH-1Y Venoms and AH-1W Super Cobras in formation over Camp Pendleton, Calif., May 22.

Michael Eklund, a crew chief with HMLA-367. “The goal is to create equal spacing between aircraft coming in for landing.”

I guess it's like the A-10 Warthog being officially the Thunderbolt II. I hope none of the pilots refer to it as the Venom.
