Flying the winged wheel

Serving in Afghanistan, Gino Salvatore still shows his dedication to both our country...and his favorite team.

Thanks to him and everyone else serving.

[size=6]P.S......GO WINGS!

[smiley=thumbsup.gif]  That's how we roll!   ;D

That's one of those pesky bugs from VFA-2. I'd be ashamed of flying that thing. I'd rather fly a real jet from VF-2...just sayin'

Wait...who are the Wings again?

You must be talking about the muscle car of fighter jets...el Tomcat!!

During the 2002-2003 deployment, the final cruise with the Tomcat, VF-2 participated in Operation Iraqi Freedom flying a wide range of missions including, reconnaissance, Close Air Support, Combat Air Patrol and strike missions. On February 28, 2003, during Operation Southern Watch, a VF-2 aircraft delivered the 1st Tomcat JDAM in combat. During this deployment, VF-2 flew 483 sorties and dropped 294 Laser-guided bomb's/JDAM/MK-82 bombs.

On July 1, 2003, VF-2 was redesignated VFA-2, and began transition to the F/A-18F Super Hornet. On October 6, 2003, VFA-2 took delivery of its first Super Hornet.

Exactly! See my sig and avatar to pretty much summarize my thoughts on naval fighter presence.
