I went out there today...a few thoughts...


I was there too..

MV-22 was on static...very interesting.

I talked with one of the pilots and one crew chief. I was unaware they were
operational with the Corps.....although their squadron designation was still
VM*X*.

I overheard that tidbit from one pilot (I assume, he
was in a bag instead of fatigues), and he followed up with "and
everyone will have their jaws on the ground if we do."

If you want to see jaws dropping due to the F/A-22, stop by Capitol hill
anytime Monday-Friday and the bring up the topic of the F/A-22 (and its cost)
with congressman, senators or their staffers

Air displays were good. B-1B

The tribute to Col. Morgon was very touching....at least to us bomber guys.
