VMO-2 Logs 100,000 Flight Hours in Vietnam
DA NANG, RVN----
Marine Observation Squadron 2 has logged its 100,000th flight hour of reconnaissance support in the Republic of Vietnam.
The crew of the OV-10 Bronco logging the milestone consisted of Colonel Albert C. Pommerenk, commanding officer of Marine Aircraft Group 11, and Major Carl B. Olsen, squadron executive officer.
VMO-2 had accumulated flight time in the UH-1E Huey and Cobra gunships as well as the OV-10 in compiling the 100,000 combat hours. Since December 1969, however, the squadron has flown only the Bronco.
VMO-2 is currently the only Marine observation squadron in SEAsia.

100k and counting

I barely made the Sqd. pic, I sent out a set of birds and ran around the revetments and fell in on the back row for the photo. 100k was o-tay for some but a job for a 20 year old. I did get to miss the cribidge board show by working the line, all those little pegs in a row, while others patted each other on the back. Only now do we/I understand what it all ment.
