Final Checker

Was watching traffic at Yuma and thought I'd try to the final Ordnance Check before the AV-8's launched. Just like the "old" days.

And the truck I ride on base...

Very cool! I was attached to VFA-305 and HCS-5 shared a building with us back at NAS Point Mugu in the early 90's.

Cheers! Mike

I was at VP-0919,VFA-305,HAL-5 and HCS-5 through the 80's and 90's. I was better know as AO1 Charlie Jones and W/C230 when I retired from HCS-5 in '98.

I went past the old hangar this May when Clark Bleeker retired, the MAA's have the Firehawks side of the building now. The whole NAR ramp is pretty much vacant since VP-65 went away.

Repaint was done by Ron Rhea for a VA that I run.

I was a PR with VFA-305 and later VFA-203. I would love to see a proper NAS Point Mugu scenery, complete with VFA-305, HCS-5, VAQ-34, VXE-6, VX-4, NAS Pt. Mugu, and PMTC traffic, an exotic mix of F/A-18's, A-7E's, F-14's, QF-86 Drones, and so much more!
