Part five of our Ten for Ten releases brings another package managed by Brent Newman and the last one of the series including the new JYAI V-22 Osprey model: the United States Marine Corps HMX-1 Presidential Flight.
Super job, gents! Thanks for including my home airport in the FP. Back in '64 or '65 I flew 'top cover SAR' for HMX-1 when they took President Johnson for a visit to one of the carriers off the VACAPES. Johnson didn't want extra 'babysitters' so we waited at Wallops; then joined up above and behind Marine 1 for the part of the flight over water. Bored holes in the sky during the visit then followed 'til Marine 1 reported 'feet dry'.
