Cover story:
New Hornets for the Fleet
On January 30, 2017, Captains Vickster Kühn and Asra Kron met with Ms. Shana Carpool to inspect the first shell of the Hornet Project. A year after her first frame was built, the first batch of Shana Aircraft Boeing F/A-18C Hornets was delivered to the Navy Flight Demonstration Team.
Gold and Blue Day at Miramar
January 13, 2018. Gold and Blue Day at Miramar. On this occasion we
celebrate another year of operations in Tuarua Fiji, marking the date
when N.A.S. Miramar was set where it stands today, Du Sud Isle, on the
northernmost regions of Nautilus. To this day this fine naval air
station remains the flagship of Third Fleet and one of the United States
Navy finest references in Second Life.
NAS Miramar Second Anniversary
It was once more our pleasure to welcome fellow officers, family and
friends to celebrate another year of Naval Air Station Miramar. Built
January 1, 2016 on an isolated island as a showcase for approval by both
the Navy and Tuarua Fiji, N.A.S.M. was inaugurated officially with the
first orders on January 8 that year, two years ago today. It would be
transferred to Du Sud Isle five days later, the date we officially
celebrate the anniversary of operations in Tuarua Fiji.
Marines Land on Third Fleet
It gives me great pleasure to announce the inclusion of Major Dominique
van Dongen, call sign "Albatross", in the ranks of this Third Fleet.
Maj. van Dongen will be intern with the NFDT Blue Angels with #8 in
mind, to become the squadron's logistics and human resources officer.
Blue Angels Homecoming Air Show
The annual Homecoming Air Show that initiates a new season will take place February 10 and 11 at NAS Miramar (*). Details will be added as they are available, but make sure you mark the dates!
(*) Traditionally held the last weekend of January, this year's Homecoming will take place the second weekend of February due to unforeseen circumstances - unfortunately we had to move the dates again. Please stay tuned as we will make it worth your while!
