With all due respect to your fuel bill, please go find out when MOAs are hot, and by all means when they're cold go through there. When they're hot, though, don't think you're simply exercising your GA rights by flying through there to save gas. Not trying to have a wang-measuring contest, but...

We rolled up the Moonlighter colors in early 07, and 224 is still the Bengals. It's rough out there in the fleet units right now, especially the hornets. Hell, all Marine Aviation is struggling these days.

Been a while since I have heard that callsign!

Good times back then! I was known as Hazno then. Grant Johnson

Was in VMFA 122 from '01-'05, 533 from '06-'09, and 224 from '10-'13. Yes, pilot type.

Thanks for the welcome! Been a lurker for a while now. Got to NBC in 2001 so I think we didn't cross paths unfortunately.

Velocity I was stationed at NBC during that time frame as well. I slept much better at night knowing you guys would come fish us out of the drink when/if we balled it up in the SOA's. You guys were the reason my squadronmate "Crush" Nichols lived as long as he did... Turning and feet away from...
