Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point
Station Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting Marines shoot the first EA6B Prowler of Marine Corps and its crew with water as a traditional wash-off after returning to Marine Tactical Electronic Warfare Squadron 2 June 10. The first Marine Corps Prowler was in service for more than 34 years and during that time it flew more than 11,000 flight hours and was piloted by four VMAQ-2 Marines for its final flight. This aircraft has been used by all the VMAQ squadrons aboard the base and finished up here with its final flight under the Q-2 logo, said Lt. Col. Todd M. Caruso, the commanding officer of VMAQ-2. We here at VMAQ-2 did everything we could to keep the history of that aircraft alive. We have used it for training and it has even been to Afghanistan.

Sounds like some chucklehead I ran into whilst TAD to Cherry Point awhile back. God knows how they let him through the pipeline.
He got through because everyone thought he was an instructor. He's just that old and grey.
Crowbar, long time no see old man. How's life?
I've got a few good pics from my squadron flyoff yesterday. I will post when I find my camera cord.
Yuck it up now, Bubba. It's only a matter of time. In fact, isn't prematurely gray hair standard-issue for your new assignment?
(FWIW, if I didn't know him, I would have mistaken Crowbar for a sim instructor...)

Prematurely gray and an early onset of male pattern baldness.
Dude - When are we going to put in our Blue Angels applications?

^ "Bozo" getting some gas, for those of you who know him.
My last front seat trap was with Bozo.
