Miracles tend to occur spontaneously. They are hard to predict. 8)

Reworked the weapons storage area
- put all the bunkers into one scene and thereby reducing the the number of drawcalls significantly (from more than 20 to just one) but also adding a lot of details.

Added some squadron signs to the hangars

Still looking for VFA-37

Thank you very much for the photo, Les.

The VFA-37 sign is obviously showing a bull but I can not make out the text.

Under the bull it looks like "bull" but above ? - It does not seem to be "VFA-37" nor "Ragin' "

Looks like "TEAM BULL" to me.

Taken from Wiki so this is unverified but I found this amusing:

"The squadron’s initial insignia was approved by CNO on 26 March 1968. The design centered on a bull was selected to symbolize the spirit, pride and mission of the unit. The Bulls current insignia was based on the Schlitz Malt Liquor logo. Over the years, the size of the testicles has been changed several times. After the Tailhook scandal, the testicles were removed completely from the logo for a time. Nickname: Bulls, 1968-present."
