Default It's a sad day in the Corps
I meant to post this the other day, but my account had not been activated yet. The first aircraft from my squadron meets it's fate at the Boneyard in Texas. The first of many victims in the inevitable transition to the V-22 Osprey. My squadron is the last operational Phrog squadron on the East Coast.

The Boneyard



438 in her glory days. Sad to see her go.

An old buddy of mine was in Vietnam and he told me he used to call those copters T.B.M.F`s short for Two Bladed Mother F@#&Kers. I laughed my a$$ off when he told me that... Im sorry for the phase out. Unfortunately it happens to all of our beloved aircraft..
