Late September 2013
Due to retirement, the iconic Vietnam era PHROGs were being prepared to be flown off-island.
Due to retirement, the iconic Vietnam era PHROGs were being prepared to be flown off-island.
As the Flying Tigers transitioned from being the Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron 262 (HMM-262) to the Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 262 (VMM-262), a chosen number were given the opportunity to take a flight! Needless to say, Rodney jumped at the chance!!
They took a quick, yet view-full, flight over the area.
Osprey lined up on the flight line, ready to take the watch.
Recognize that little island??
It's the one right out in front of our apartment!
And there's a boat coming in to the fishing dock.
This photo is a great one to show the compact living of the island.
Looking from the old to the new....
...the tiltrotor, Osprey.
Good flight!
