✈️ Safe on the Deck! ✈️

Nothing beats watching a P-8A Poseidon touch down after a successful mission and get guided safely home by ADAR Springer! 🛬⚓

It takes a seamless team effort to keep our aircraft flying and mission-ready. A massive shoutout to ADAR Springer and the entire VP-40 maintenance team working tirelessly on the flight line day in and day out. From launch to recovery, your dedication and hard work behind the scenes keep the Fighting Marlins in the sky.
