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.

I was a 'Dog from '06 to '08 and was with them when we did our '06-'07 combat cruise in support of OIF and OEF. Nice work on the video. I miss being with that squadron.

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

[@jimpollinger]
