Flying the happy skies with the VMF-214. In Pappy Boyington's days in Command of the Black Sheep Squadron, their Identifier WAS VMF-214. Today's Black Sheep Squadron, (still Marines), is VMA-214. I still don't know why the change from "F" to "A", but this is what today's Black Sheep Squadron Number is: VMA-214. God Bless the Black Sheep. God Bless the real Pappy Boyington, and God Bless Robert Conrad for his rendition of Pappy. R.I.P. Robert Conrad. TL [EDIT:] Wikipedia: VMA-214 - Black Sheep. [EDIT 2:] Looks like the change from "VMF-214" to "VMA-214" hit during the Vietnam War. TL TimeLord04 Have TARDIS, will travel... Come along K-9! Join Calm Chaos |
