January 28: A Boeing E/A-18G Growler from Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 129 ‘Vikings’ based at Naval Air Station (NAS) Whidbey Island in Washington arrives at NAS North Island in California to participate in a Parade of Flight over San Diego Bay, kicking off a series of nationwide events celebrating the Centennial of US Naval Aviation.
The three-tone paint scheme (circa 1944) honours Air Group 85, which operated from USS Shangri-La (CV 34) during the Second World War.
There will be more from San Diego in the April issue of AirForces Monthly, out on March 1.
