Jinxter13 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 (edited) I am very very saddened to find out that the last "legacy" Hornet Squadron will soon be D'com'd....Oh well I guess like many other aircraft developed in the last 20-30 years that are no longer doing duty, are like us older humans the wear and tear on them takes it toll, ; I wonder how long the Big Ugly Fat uhhh.... Fellow will continue on. it's 60+ and AFAIK no plans to retire anytime soon. Makes ya wonder if the great-grand kids of first group of pilots will fly some of Great Grand dad's aircraft.

There are still 5 legacy Hornet fleet squadrons at NAS Oceana, so we'll still have them around for a while! Jeff Quote Link to post Share on other sites
