Looking for F/A-18 for the VMFA(AW)533 and 332 Sqd

Postby firehawkv8 » Sun Nov 30, 2003 12:43 am

Looking for F/A-18s to represent the VMFA(AW) 533 and VMFA(AW) 332 squadrons. These two squadrons provided air support for me and my Marines during ground combat in Kosovo during Operation Allied Force. The two workhorse squadrons have also participated in bombings in Afghanistan and in Iraq.

Also looking for F-4 II Phantoms of VMFA-333. All these aircraft are located at MCAS Beaufort. Thanx.

Now, I feel slighted because you left out VMFA-115 "Silver Eagles", also at Beaufort.  My son was with them during the Med cruise 2002-2003.

If someone would release a VMFA (AW) 533 F/A 18. I would freak. I was w/ them for 5 years andduring the Kosovo conflict.
We were stationed out of Tazar Hungary and worked round the clock...good times. Only MCAS squadron I've seen is VMFA 224...Keep hoping.

Are there any physical differences in the F/A 18s you're talking about and ones already on the net (besides markings)?  If not, why don't you try your hand at repainting them?  It isn't very hard, especially if all you are doing is changing insignia at such.
