ESCAPING THE HEAT On June 1st, the Nightmares interrupted their night systems phase of block training in order to march in the new Group Commander's change of command ceremony. 'Ragu' was only able to transmit his commander's guidance for a week before embarking upon a two week quest to move his family west from Virginia. During that time, the Cow served as acting Group Commander, carved his initials into the boss's desk, and pretended to be King. (It's good to be King.) On June 14, General Bolden held his quarterly commander's conference at MCAS Miramar CA. In recognition of Flag Day, the General grabbed a microphone and sang 'Proud To Be An American.' The General need do nothing more to prove his bravery to the Cow. The Nightmares qualified Jolly, Screech, Critter and Torch in Night Systems and recertified Cow and Cliffy as Night Systems Instructors. Taking a break from night flying, 50 Nightmares climbed aboard a KC-130 which was assigned to aerial refuel Waldo and Cow en route to New Orleans. Unfortunately, a stationary tropical storm settled over the destination, with flooding that killed 21 people all told. The Nightmares decided to divert to San Antonio for a night on the River Walk before retreating to (too) sunny Yuma. The Nightmares sent a signed lithograph to the "Raiders" of VMGR-352 in appreciation for their superior support, and the following images are dedicated to them.
