Re: VFA-25 New CAG
I will eventually. Got some tweaking to do.to share?
DUSTOFF, CVW 17 was the airwing when I was on the USS Forrestal CVA-59 back in the late 60's and early 70's. The good old days when there was variety' F-4's, A-4's, A-6's, A-7's, KA-3B's, RA-5C's etc. Wish I had taken more photos then, but it was a job and it sucked (at least in my young mind at the time). I'd do it all over again if I could only know what I know now.
Thanks to all for the kind comments,
Grape

Re: VFA-25 New CAG
Thanks, when I left in early 2000 the air wing had the following mix for deployment:
VF-103
VFA-34
VFA-81
VFA-83
VAW-125
VAQ-132
VS-30
HS-15<-my squadron
VRC-40 Det.
Much has changed since then, VF-103 is now VFA-103 with the Turkey gone. VAQ-132 recently transitioned to the Growler. VFA-81 traded in some of the oldest early Lots "C" Bugs for Supers. VS-30 is gone.

Why can’t they keep the colours in the bloody paint pots and just leave them grey
