VFA-211 Checkmates FCPOA River Raft Trip.
Fighting First’s! After a demanding and hectic work up cycle. The FCPOA takes a much overdue relaxing trip down the river. Now you may ask how does the fight first relax? Well with an exhilarating trip down a fast flowing river. As you can see the river was extremely fierce. Nothing the fighting first couldn’t handle. After the extremes of the work up cycle, these first have been battle tested. Needless to say, everyone came home safe and sound. Ready to put air wing Fallon in the book of achievements.
