Hey Gunny...as per your request....

 

BTW: should be a small modex number on bottom of rudder, both sides. Can't get Rudder01 mesh to accept a decal. Tried for almost 3 hours, no joy, sorry, sir...

Let me know if this is acceptable....

 

Regards, Pete

In 1970, They were the first Squadron to receive the A-4M Skyhawk II and received the Last Production A-4 Skyhawk produced by McDonnell Douglas in 1978. The stood down in 1982. Stood up in 1985 Being the first

Combat Squadron in the USMC to operate the AV-8B. After Desert Storm, The squadron stood down in 1992.

 

BTW, The Squadron Patch is the last Squadron Patch that survived WW II that Walt Disney designed and was never approved by the CNO. The original Color of the background of the Patch was that you have on the Wing Tips. Light Blue making it the Senior Squadron Patch of the Marines. They changed it to Red in 1959. Tradition is tradition......
