Happy Birthday Lex!

Never let it be said that we've forgotten him.


F/A-18A from VFA-25 Fist of the Fleet, which I think was Lex's first gig.


F-16N from VF-45 Blackbirds.

I don't have a VFA-192 Golden Dragons skin for a hornet...


F/A-18C from VFA-94 Mighty Shrikes, which I think he was CO.


His last ride and the one that ultimately did him in, dammit.  Kfir C2 from the Smashing Parrots Squadron, I think this tail number becomes N404AX when ATAC puts it into service.

    I can't tell from the picture, does the VFA-192 skin have the "SSHWFGD" on it? I believe it should be on the doors to the nose wheel, if I remember correctly.

    It was their unofficial motto when they were in CVW-5 on the USS Midway (CV-41) in 1986 to 1989. Probably before and after that time period, as well.

    Super Shit Hot World Famous Golden Dragons.

      It does not have it. I don't think the way the game skins things allows for anything to be put there.
