Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point Images

Apr 22, 2012

Medal of Honor recipient Sgt. Dakota L. Meyer flying in a T/AV-8B harrier with Lt. Col. Robert J. Fails, executive officer of Marine Attack Training Squadron 203, during the Thunder Over Louisville air show April 21, in Louisville, Ky. VMAT-203 provided the harrier for Meyer to fly in during the air show. “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.”
