VFA 143 Pukin' Dogs - CVW 7 - Homecoming 2009

This video is of the VFA-143 Pukin' Dogs Homecoming from their most recent deployment to Afghanistan. Their return was 7/29/09. This was my first Homecoming experiance from on base. I'll tell ya! It was emotional! Its great to see these guys come home to their families and Im greatful that I had the opportunity to catch the very moving memory on camera. Thankyou VFA-143 for what you guys do to keep us safe, aswell as keep the enemy at bay. If by chance you pilots from VFA-143 want to use the raw footage from this, feel free to ask and I will gladly let you. This is not everything I got. there is more.

Thats very cool sir! I wish I was able to get some 143 footage with the tomcats but unfortunately I was still in high school. Glad you liked it!

F5 is the sexiest jet ever made, next to the F20 Tigershark maybe: light, narrow and agile. Love love LOVE that waspwaist design!!!
