Hawaii Update, courtesy CAPT Jack Vogt:

"On Thursday, May 12, Air Station Barbers Point aircrews joined RADM Ray at the Pacific Aviation Museum for a CoNA Hawaii Celebration Dinner. After a roll call of all Hawaiian Navy, Marine Corp and Coast Guard aviation units, naval aviation contributions were honored by a presentation of aircrew, support personnel, family, WWII, Korea and Vietnam representatives and a special ceremony for KIA, MIA and POWs. (The Air Station's) AMT2 Travis Edwards, USCG, represented the Coast Guard and all officer/enlisted/civilian support personnel who have made naval aviation the success it is today. Following keynote addresses by the Pacific Fleet Commander and RADM Ray, a toast was made by the senior naval aviator present, ADM Ron Hays, USN (Ret). RADM Ray educated the audience on the many naval aviation firsts conducted by our Coast Guard predecessors. He got a lot of laughs too. The night ended with an awesome rendition of God Bless America by Jim Nabors, aka Gomer Pyle.

 

The CoNA dinner was followed by the Pacific Missile Range Facility Open House in Kauai on Saturday, May 14. Air Station Barbers Point aircrews manned our aircraft static displays along with other naval aviation aircrews for over 3000 visitors. Another great event to mark CoNA festivities.

 

Future CoNA activities incl KBay MCAS BayFest with a tribute to Naval Aviation in July, Biggest Little Airshow on Ford Island in August, potential Open House at old Naval Air Station Barbers Point in September, and a Flight Suit (In)Formal in October at the Coast Guard Air Station Barbers Point Hideaway Club."
