Air Wing 5 in front of Mt. Fuji. Any of you guys ever had the chance to fly in that area?

Flying in Japan was great. I was in CVW-5's premier squadron, VA-115. We flew by Fujiyama often, but that was nothing compared to flying low levels in the Japanese 'Alps.'

The world's greatest cross country was to launch from Atsugi, fly a low level in the Japanese Alps, then head to Okinawa, have some Kobi Beef, then off to Cubi Pt. via a low level in the northern Philippines, a Nuke Special and Cubi Dog at the O'Club, a swim and a massage at the BOQ, then out to Magsaysay Street for the E Ticket rides at Disneyland Westpac style.

That maybe true. I've seen updated bubba lists still listing guys that transferred to other communities long ago. Still a chance for that long sought after HSL DH job, MB. ;)

OK. So the fixed wing guys went to 7 squadrons and got 1 a/c each to fly by Fuji.

HSL-51 executed Operation Darken Sky one sunny morning in 2000.

Count 'em. 12 SH-60Bs (2 from the HSL-49 det that used to work from the HSL-51 hangar) and 2 H-3's. The only thing in the hangar was the queen and some oil stains.

Honorable mention to JMSDF VX-51 who provided a helo and photographer.

Rock on Warlords!

Correct me if I'm wrong but so have most ready room discussions I've been a part of.........or paddles shack on the ship....or a 6 man state room. Then again, I was probably at least partly or maybe entirely responsible for the discussion going south in a hurry. We are just an extension of those ready rooms :)
