Marine Attack Squadron 223 (VMA-223) is a United States Marine Corps fixed wing attack squadron that consists of AV-8B Harrier (V/STOL) jets. The squadron is based at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, North Carolina and falls under the command of Marine Aircraft Group 14 (MAG-14) and the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing (2nd MAW). The squadron uses "Stone" as its radio callsign.
Worst Moment While turning up aircraft for test, I had an Engine Over Temp condition, which required the engine to be changed. Very embarassing moment. Was required to help the mechanics remove and replace the engine.
Other Memories Joined Squdron under the draft system. Squadron had A-4E Jet Aircraft. When the Squadron rotated back to the States, I was transferred to the IMA H&MS-12.
