HMMT-204 I believe. But most of them were just captains here at TBS, it seems the majority of pilots here are phrug bubbas (sorry Matt...Phrog). I'm doomed for talking smack about your platform, surely I'll end up flying them for all of this! NO!

Doesn't exist. It's VMMT-204. V-22 training squadron. The only HMMT is HMMT-164 in CA. Phrog squadrons in New River are HMM-261, 264, and 365. The others (162, 263, 266)have gone the way of the devils whirly-bird. There's also HMM-774 from Norfolk and HMX-1 flying Phrogs on the east coast. Did any of them fly a Phrog up there, or did they just show up to drink beer?

It's no surprise that the majority of pilots there are Phrog bubbas... Hence the term "Phrog Mafia."

Is that what the USMC calls it? That's what it's called in the AF. It's called Personal Property in the Navy.

Yeh they just showed up for the beer. All of the Lts and some wives were eagerly awaiting that exciting approach and landing of the CH-46 and were sorely disappointed when nothing showed up. Personally, I didn't understand what the big deal was, but maybe that's because I was with a Harrier squadron for five years, and have seen much better aerial displays of power.

I'm sure they showed up. They were just 40 minutes late and landed in the wrong LZ, 10 miles from where they were expected. Basically phrog SOP.

40 minutes, huh? You must have been flying with external tanks to get that much time. I'm sure you were still flying on fumes by then.

I'm sorry... did a phrog pilot speak again, or did somebody just fart?

I could swear I heard a guy who can barely carry a fireteam(-) with their gear to the wrong LZ criticize the mighty Jump Jet......

Work on it, junior.:icon_smil

Oh, it's okay. Not nearly as exciting as doing anything in a real military aircraft, but for someone who has never been behind the controls of any aircraft, it's pretty cool.

Oh, and my previous post was a joke referencing the classic "What % get jets?" question.

Just for clarification. I meant no dis-respect to any Marine flying anything anywhere at any time.

I know to what you were referring. No disrespect taken or assumed, but you've got to expect me to push back. :icon_smil
