My old U.S. Navy squadron makes a little news

Most of you do not know that I am a retired Navy Chief from the aviation community. My last unit was the River Rattlers of VFA-204 based at NAS/JRB New Orleans. I had a nice surprise in my morning mail with the publishing of this US Navy News "Photo of The Day" below.



Two F/A-18 Hornets assigned to Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 204 and two F-15 Strike Eagles assigned to the Louisiana Air National Guard 159th Fighter Wing fly in an echelon formation over southern Louisiana wetlands during a photo exercise. VFA 204 and the 159th are stationed on Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base (NAS JRB) New Orleans. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class John P. Curtis/Released)
