"That is a great photo of the Pioneer. Wish I had a chance to observe some flight ops, but VMU-1 is now on its way to the sandbox (as of the 17th). Will have to see who is left behind and in training there now. Thanks....

"Chris,

Why was this discussion closed, and why were comments deleted from it? I was only responding to others comments, and my comments were nothing but helpful in the context of the discussion. Why does it seem that ANYTHING that relates to RCAPA…"
