Anyone else a bit bummed out that the VAQ-209 StarWarriors CO bird isn't very showy? It's very plain jane to me...VAQ-209 CO Bird (Great picture btw...Woody's Aeroimages). I was hoping for a show stopping Darth Vader...

VFA-137 is coming up with some VERY nice schemes. I like the change of the tail markings to what they've got now. It's new, different, and it works well.

And they can no longer be known as "The Flying Butt Cheeks"! :monkeydance:

I'll bet they're elated by that, I know I'm glad it'll soon be history; it was just too degrading for a great unit to have to live with. I like their new CAG bird....a lot!!!, that's just too cool :yahoo: :yahoo:

I got a chance to check out VFA-137's CAG up close last week- it looks even nicer in person!

Stopped by KBFI as FALCON 31 and stayed for Super Bowl weekend.

(If anyone *is* interested in doing decals; I've got some walk-around shots of most of the markings, too.)

VX-23 added a little bit of color to their fleet. Not sure if I like it or not. Sorry about the quality, taken with my phone.
