Marines Perform Hollywood Heroics
On the official US Marines website there's a neat article about the FA-18s used in Episode 22 of 24.
Fans of the Fox television show "24" had the unique opportunity to watch the Marines of Marine Aircraft Group 11 and Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 323 perform Hollywood-style heroics May 11.
Marines from 2nd Battlion, 23rd Marine Regiment, were treated to an hour-long, high-speed, low-level aerial action show by Marine F/A-18s during filming over downtown Los Angeles.
Led by MAG-11's commanding officer, Col. Earl Wederbrook and wingman, Lt. Col. Douglas Kurth, two VMFA-323 F/A-18C attack fighter jets sprung into action over the Los Angeles sky in a rapid and realistic urban close air support mission.
The fighter jets came to the aid of television actor Keifer Sutherland, who plays the character agent Jack Bauer on "24."
Thought some of you might enjoy that. A nice FOX forum member posted the link.
Off now to mourn the end of Season Three. I'm not going to comment yet about that spoilery article regarding certain castmembers that's been making the news. Saving it til later. Bye for now!
