Did the 3 MAW return to MCAS Miramar yesterday or was it personnel that returned?  Saw it on the new while down there this weekend.

I found out that the 5th was an error to the info I was getting, MY appologies for that. I anticipate that CVW-5 may fly off on August 6th and the Kitty Hawk should arrive on the 7th.

In the second pic down you can barely see the canopy and tail fins of an F-14A Tomcat BUNO 160905.

Isn't it the Nimitz getting de-commission and getting ready to go up to the Ghost Fleet in WA?

The USS Nimitz is getting the island completely stripped and repainted. The white covering helps to control the old paint chips from falling into San Diego Bay. The USS Nimitz is in a Scheduled Reduced Avialiabity (SRA) Period.
