Random Griz Aviation Musings

Here’s a nice video of everyone getting in on the drop gang back in 2014.

Won't see any Phrogs in this go around.
But glad to see NAVAIR being made available to help.
My family dealt with a significant fire near El Toro in the '80s while I was deployed.
Lot's of water dropped by 46s and 53s. No serious damage, except to undeveloped hills of Saddle Back.
I feel for all who have lost so much.

Impressive flyover!

In recognition of his naval service and presidency, Navy F/A-18E/F Super Hornets conducted a 21-aircraft missing man flyover in his memory. The aircraft are from various squadrons assigned to Naval Air Station Oceana in Virginia Beach, Va.

The eight squadrons that participated in the flyover are the “Gladiators” of VFA-106, the “Checkmates” of VFA-211, the “Blue Blasters” of VFA-34, the “Fighting Swordsmen” of VFA-32, the “Rampagers” of VFA-83, the “Gunslingers” of VFA-105, the “Wildcats” of VFA-131 and the “Jolly Rogers” of VFA-103.

Eternal Father, strong to save,
Whose arm does bind the restless wave,
Who bids the mighty ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep;
O hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea.

O Savior, whose almighty word
The winds and waves submissive heard,
Who walked upon the foaming deep,
And calm amid the rage did sleep;
O hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea.

O Holy Spirit, who did brood
Upon the waters dark and rude,
And bid their angry tumult cease,
And give for wild confusion peace;
O hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea.

O Trinity of love and pow'r,
Your children shield in danger's hour;
From rock and tempest, fire, and foe,
Protect them where-so-e'er they go;
Thus, evermore shall rise to Thee
Glad hymns of praise from land and sea.

Pretty sweet move with an H-60 …maybe resident 60 experts can comment. @Gatordev @hscs
