The
PR at the bottom and the
PR blurbs are always interesting tells me they will fly it unless somone here says no. Its here to show off IMHO. There is no crew from this Sqn qualified to do a handling display according to ACC that is scheduled to come down here, but Id expect it to do laps, unless the one qualified crew from this Sqn shows up.
The USS Shoup that has the helos on it is due into Station Pier at 7.30am on Monday for any Shipaholics.
