Yes! My old squadron gets its name back. I was with VMF (AW)-122 during Cuban Missile Crisis. We had just received brand new F8U-2NE Crusaders from the factory and we were planning a shakedown cruise with the new night fighters and the entire squadron going to Rota, Spain when the crisis hit. Interesting times they were.
