Marine Corps Aviation
« on: February 05, 2022, 12:40:33 PM »
I was fortunate to have attended a pretty elite Marine Corps school. They call it "Weapons and Tactics Instructor Course," But I'd call it the Marine's version of "Top-Gun."

That started a long and lasting friendship between me and some Marines I have met and befriended along the way. I was fortunate to have operated with them in several theaters and in combat in Afghanistan. Good group of warriors.

Ran across some cool pics of their latest instrument of death. Cool birds!

One of the best painted "Sharks teeth" I have ever seen, and I've seen a bunch

I got close and personal to a few 53s back in my childhood when stationed at MCAS Tustin. They had some of the first Cobras there too.

They filmed Tora Tora Tora nearby and seeing all those "jap" planes flying over was wierd.
