My visit with the T-34 and more!

[EA-6B1]

Alright, ladies and gents, I was blessed with the opportunity to meet up with a Marine SNA while I was on vacation in Florida last week. We met up and headed to NAS Pcola and went to the O'Club for lunch. Then we hit the flightline!! It was awesome! I got to strap on a T-34 and take a look around the cockpit. I also got up close with T-6s, -39s, -2s, Fat Albert, the Blue Angels, and saw some fleet F-18s. We then headed up to Whiting where I got to sit in a TH-57 helicopter.

It was a great experience, and one that I know I'm fortunate to have been able to do especially since I'm still a civilian (just completed PLC Jrs). I'll leave you with some motivating pictures that I snapped.

Haha, I think I have a pic of myself next to the same corsair! No doubt a few others on the forum have similar photos.
