162888 / 345 (cn 0439/A360) Marine Hornet 345 doing a low-speed pass on Monday under less than desirable weather conditions. The lake was pretty rough. No boaters today! I mislabeled the Hornet as “Navy” rather than “Marines” in my last posting.

Sure! All of their aircraft are Navy assests.

Now that makes even more sense...thanks for the clarification!

Just as a note - the Hornets are from VFA-106. Since '106 is the Hornet training squadron on the east coast its aircraft carry "Navy" on the left side of the rear fuselage and "Marines" on the right!

No worries Ed, I guess it does double duty, so either will do!
