Military AircrewA forum for the professionals who fly the non-civilian hardware, and the backroom boys and girls without whom nothing would leave the ground. Army, Navy and Airforces of the World, all equally welcome here.
Typical of the Yanks to do something like that and full marks to them, a wonderful way to keep the young man's name alive. No doubt if we proposed something like that here it would be rejected on cost grounds or because it might offend someone........
An awesome tribute by the US Navy. The Hornet guy's have a lot of time for the British forces on the ground in Helmand as it's the area they support the most. Cheers VFA -34 .
FYI, RAF VC10s have (for a long time) had the names of Victoria Cross winners painted on their sides, some since 1966. The citations were also displayed in the Sqn building(s) for many years.
What a nice way to remember the Fallen. Sadly the way things are going in the near future there wont be enough equipment in the UK Armed services to to put the names of the fallen on
