Grey Ghost 531 Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 F-4N VMFA-531 (really a monogram F-4C, built long before the Hasegawa B/N came out) Lockheed PV-1 Ventura night fighter - VMF(N) 531 - 1943 Solomons - RarePlanes vacform kit, Owl decals. VMFA-531 - USS Coral Sea - 1980 in the I.O. VMFA-323 - USS Coral Sea - 1980 in the I.O. VMFA-531 - Expeditionary airfield 29 Palms California - 1981 Link to post Share on other sites
Grey Ghost 531 Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Luxury air accomodations provided by Marine Air - VMGR-352. Non-stop flight from El Toro California to Tyndall AFB Florida in only 10 hours. Stretch out and enjoy the comfort of our first class aisle seats and be lulled to restful slumber by the peaceful drone of four turboprop engines... The results of losing a radome in flight. The radar was fine after an antenna swap and the antenna was back in supply after the reflector was changed. We were amazed at how little damage was done. The radome, however, was toast. They found it in the backcountry of Camp Pendelton. Link to post Share on other sites

Oh c'mon! I'd never publically give up dirt on Echo-Six-Romeo. Now if we're in a bar, and you wear or once wore the EGA (Devil Docs included), it would only take a Long Island for my lips to start a-flappin. Link to post Share on other sites

John B Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Easy now 6-Delta. People are gonna get the false impression that I don't work 50+ hour work weeks including weekends as well as being on-call for whatever BS alarm system decides to act up between 1700 and 0900. FYI - The last 6 kits I finished weren't for myself and the last 3 completed were turned over to people who are here on ARC. Link to post Share on other sites

John B Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 (edited) K-Bay memories! Sunset at Pohokuloa Training Area (PTA). Kinda interesting view above the clouds. -165 Frog turning up for a range sweep at PTA. The BN S-3 wanted to be on the morning range sweep. He needed a driver, I had a highback and I got back early from morning chow. My shopchief was cool with it, so S-3 got his driver and I got to take overhead pics of my buds' fighting holes in the morning light. "Hey! Where's Bibay?" A sight never to be repeated again. VMFA-235s Hornets on the K-Bay ramp. Edited May 6, 2007 by John Bibay Link to post Share on other sites
