Saw this tonight on the news. Figure some of you Phrog guys can wax nostalgic about the most awesomest aircraft....

 
That gaggle grew to 11 by the time they flew over the Midway museum. My boss (retired LAMPS CAPT) joked, "where they hell did they get that many Phrogs?"

I saw that yesterday. I didn't know the supply system could afford the consumption of that much POL at one time.
 
When I was in flight school (92-93), the H-46 IPs told us not to worry about selecting 46's because "the last H-46 pilot hasn't been born yet"!

It looks like they were wrong, he was born, but it looks like he was somewhere around 4 years old.
 
Looks a lot more like Pendleton than Miramar, especially given that the story is about the RAG. Maybe I missed something though.....

HMMT-164 is in Pendleton. After his H2P check, they went back to the line and launched the barn, to Miramar and back...

For you Sandy Eggans, there is a very thorough feature article in the Union Tribune today, on this young Marine Phrog pilot... quite interesting.

Rog, yeah I remembered the RAG being there, but that makes sense. Pretty cool thing to get to do, and be a part of.

Zerb was the Brigade CDR my last semester at USNA. Great guy, with an awesome story.

It won't have been the last training flight then now would it? Hence it wouldn't have been a news story.

Something tells me it was rigged!

"Uhh...you've got two ETs and a refly. We'll have to coordinate your flights with the CG's aide."
