Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point Images

Apr 20, 2012

Medal of Honor recipient Sgt. Dakota L. Meyer tests his flight suit on a parachute simulator April 20 aboard Kentucky Air National Guard Base, before his flight on a T/AV-8B Harrier during the Thunder Over Louisville air show April 21. Marine Attack Training Squadron 203, based at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, provided the harrier for the flight. “This is my first time ever flying in a harrier, but I’ve seen Top Gun about a dozen times,” said Meyer. “If Tom Cruise can handle flying a jet then I can too. I just hope I don’t throw-up.”
