Yeah it's been over 10 years since the F-18's from VMFA-321 were stationed there. I do miss them.
I was attached to this reserve squadron. I miss it too!
Awesome! When I was kid I used to see their Phantoms flying all the time... complete with J-79s billowing smoke.
VMF-321 was full of pansies. They were supposed to work with us, MACS-24. They were always late taking off, went out to the Atlantic and went burners down to the working area and then called bingo after about 15 minutes and went home. We had to get Flight Safety to bring out their Lear and MU-2 to fly intercepts for us.
I always roll down my window to enjoy the thunder.
