WTOC in Savannah also had a story on VMFA(AW)-332 last week, they too give 2011 as a date for reactivation with the JSF.

Unfortunately I was working a 10 hour shift on Friday and missed the last flight of a Moonlighters F/A-18D. I would have loved to have been able to log that one...

Good News! VMFA(AW)-332 Not to be Decommisioned

VMFA(AW)-332, The Moonlighters, from MCAS Beaufort will not be decomissioned as originally planned. The USMC has decided to instead put them in "Cadre Status," to come back in appoximately 5 years when the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter comes into service.
