Ow Eng Tiong 0 Report post Posted February 14, 2009 (edited) USS Essex is currently in Thailand for Exercise Cobra Gold, I requested to visit the ship when it pulls into port but they suggested that I come aboard the ship to look at their flying ops. While the initial plan was to fly us in via helo thru Utapao, that plan was shot down and we went aboard using a LCAC instead. After leaving the ship, we had a chance to visit VMA-211 at Utapao and managed to catch a RTN S-2 and A-7 there as well.
