1942: MCAS Ewa, Hawaii.
To VMA-214 SDO Steve Linder: Hi, my name is Matt Hobbs. I'm an Army Blackhawk pilot stationed in Hawaii.
Long story short, I was exploring what was once known as MCAS Ewa today. I did a google search to find more info, and saw that VMA-214 had formed there back in 1943. Quite a bit of history. I saw that you were listed as a point of contact for the unit history page, so I thought I'd pass some photos along of what MCAS Ewa looks like today. CW2 Matt Hobbs. Blackhawk Pilot)

Events

July 1, 1942: VMA-214 was commissioned at Station Ewa, Oahu Hawaii. They were de-commissioned after their combat tour. They were know as the "Swashbucklers".

August 7, 1943: The orginial "Black Sheep" of twenty seven men led by Major Gregory "Pappy" Boyington formed a new VMF-214 at Espiritu Santo in the Western Pacific. Major Boyington had recently returned from a year's tour with the American Vounteer Group (aka "Flying Tigers") in China.

January 8, 1944: Commanding officer Major Gregory "Pappy" Boyington is shot down and captured by the Japanese.

Medal of Honor holder, Marine Aviator and AVG Flying Tiger Pilot.

Major, United States Marine Corps Reserve, Marine Squadron 214.

Central Solomons area, from 12 September 1943 to 3 January 1944.

For extraordinary heroism and valiant devotion to duty as commanding officer of Marine Fighting Squadron 214 in action against enemy Japanese forces in the Central Solomons area from 12 September 1943 to 3 January 1944.

Consistently outnumbered throughout successive hazardous flights over heavily defended hostile territory, Major Boyington struck at the enemy with daring and courageous persistence, leading his squadron into combat with devastating results to Japanese shipping, shore installations, and aerial forces.

Resolute in his efforts to inflict crippling damage on the enemy, Major Boyington led a formation of 24 fighters over Kahili on 17 October and, persistently circling the airdrome where 60 hostile aircraft were grounded, boldly challenged the Japanese to send up planes. Under his brilliant command, our fighters shot down 20 enemy craft in the ensuing action without the loss of a single ship.

A superb airman and determined fighter against overwhelming odds, Major Boyington personally destroyed 26 of the many Japanese planes shot down by his squadron and, by his forceful leadership, developed the combat readiness in his command which was a distinctive factor in the Allied aerial achievements in this vitally strategic area.

Colonel Boyington was the total victor in many more than twenty-six aerial combats during World War II in the Pacific and Asia. "Pappy" Boyington was finally shot down and captured. As a prisoner of war Colonel Boyington suffered brutal and horrible prolonged torture at the hands of the Japanese before being released at war's end. Colonel Boyington died of cancer January 12, 1988.

The wreckage was spotted Monday afternoon by a CAP aircraft and a helicopter from Ft. Carson was sent to the scene. CWO Joseph Pagan, co-pilot of the helicopter said the wreckage was strewn over a large area. There was no evidence that the pilot had ejected. Colorado Springs Gazette, Wednesday, September 17, 1969. Maj. Charles C. McLennan, was killed Sunday, September 14, when his A-4C Skyhawk crashed in the rugged Rocky Mountains near Colorado Springs, CO (5 miles west of Lake City, CO) while he was on a routine high level navigation cross-country training flight.

September 8, 1970: Capt. Patrick G. Carroll, 27, ejected safely from his A-4 Skyhawk (BuNo 150089) when it crashed in rugged Lovelace Canyon, south and west of Lucerne Valley today. Redlands Daily Facts, Wednesday, Sept. 9, 1970. The impact touches off a 30-acre brushfire in Lovelace Canyon, south and west of the Lucerne Valley, which was still burning the following day. Eight retardant-dropping fire bombers are diverted from another blaze near Devore, California in the Cajon Pass to help contain the burn. A total of 12 California Division of Forestry and other trucks are also dispatched to the site to fight the fire. The pilot, who was flying north over Big Bear Lake on a navigation training flight, suffered an undetermined malfunction, said a public information spokesman at MCAS El Toro, California. He was seen as he ejected by a gas company serviceman, James Kennedy, who picked him up and drove him to near-by Sky-High Ranch. Carroll, a Vietnam veteran, is picked up by a rescue helicopter from George AFB, CA, and was not injured. Firefighters were hindered by rough, rocky terrain and a truck that overturned on an access road, blocking the path for over an hour. Fire crew were lifted to the site by helicopter or had to walk in 1 1/2 miles from Highway 18 near the Lucerne Valley. CDF officials expected the blaze to be contained by 1800 hrs., 9 September, unless winds developed.

April 21, 1971: Capt. James E. Stroupe, 27, was killed when his A-4 (BuNo 154985) Skyhawk crashed about 9:45 a.m. while pulling out of a low level bombing run over a desert training area near Yuma, AZ. The Arizona Republic, Thursday, April 22, 1971.

July 22, 1972: Capt. E. M. "Mike" Ozmett and 1st Lt. Carl C. Chappell (BuNo's 154186 and 154192) ejected on takeoff when caught in a sudden and severe crosswind at Buckley ANG base. The crashes occurred within 10 seconds of each other. Ozmett was airborne when he ejected and his plane crashed east of Buckley Road nead sixth Ave. starting a grass fire that scorched several acres. The plane then bellied across the road for an additional 200 yards before stopping. Chappell's veered off the runway seconds later starting a fire that burned about 20 acres. A third USMC pilot, Capt. H.C. Widener (VMA-214) witnessed the crashes and didn't attempt a takeoff. The El Toro, CA, based aircraft had flown from Wichita Falls, TX and stopped at Buckley to refuel. Rocky Mountain News, photo, Sunday, 23 July 1972.

I just opened the old log book, because I was on the periphery of that event at Buckley. 'Twas 21/22 Jul 72 and I (1stLt Steve Linder) was on a cross-country with our skipper, LtCol. J.J. McCarthy (VMA-214) flying A-4Fs from El Toro to RON at Buckley. There was another flight of three from our squadron RONing at Buckley that same night. On the 22nd, the skipper and I departed late in the morning without incident. About 1/2 hour later we received a call on guard from the Buckley tower asking if there was a LtCol. McCarthy aboard. After the affirmative reply, we were asked to return to the scene of the accident. We saw the wreckage of Dash two off to the left side of the runway (I think it was runway 35 or 36.)

To the best of my recollection, here is how it unfolded. The flight of three behind us had seen us depart and expected the same conditions. They were cleared for takeoff with winds reported as light and variable. Lead (Capt Mike Ozment - A-4F BuNo 154192) rolled with Dash two (1stLt Carl Chappell A-4F BuNo 154186) 10 seconds behind. The 60 knot gust (90 degree crosswind from the left) did come out of nowhere hitting Lead and Dash two.
Lead had enough speed that he did not weather-vane, but was pushed hard over to the right, blowing the starboard main tire, some of which was thrown forward and ingested into the engine intake. Lead got airborne, declared an emergency and turned left downwind. About abeam the runway on downwind, Lead's engine quit and he ejected, landing in a sewage treatment pond, but otherwise unhurt.
Dash two was at a slower airspeed, about halfway through his takeoff roll, when hit by the wind gust. The A/C weather vaned to the left and departed the runway heading for a drainage ditch. Dash two chose to eject rather than face the drainage ditch and landed on the upwind (left side) of the runway with his chute still inflated. He was on his hands and knees trying to stop himself from being blown away and was drug across the runway from left to right, sustaining major injuries to his hands and knees before he could jettison the chute.
After witnessing these calamities, Dash three (Capt Hal Widener) pulled his power to idle and taxied back to the line.
I don't remember what the skipper and I did once we returned. There was nothing we could do but help our two squadron mates who had to hit the silk. I think, as mentioned, no blame was assessed because of the freak nature of the event.
Well, that left an indelible impression on me as a young 1stLt myself. Dwarf.

June 26, 1973: Capt. Dale "Stump" Kennedy ejected when he rolled into his 5th ZUNI run and stabilized in a 20 degree dive, accelerated to 430 kias and noticed the right wing begin to drop. He moved the stick to the left and felt it bind momentarily and then feel like it was free in his hand. The Skyhawk (BuNo 158431) continued to roll right and he attempted using left rudder which only slowed the roll. As he was passing 55 degrees of bank he ejected with his right hand holding the stick left and aft and his left hand actuating the ejection handle. Following ejection the aircraft continued to roll and impacted a hillside in a wings level inverted attitude. The pilot was picked up in rocky terrain about 20  minutes later by a helicopter in the area and taken to a nearby hospital with major injuries. NAN, Pettibone, March 1974.

May 6, 1975: Capt. Dave Stamper (F-4 pilot) ejected safely when he lost control (BuNo 158434) during an ACM engagement (inverted spin, that's what the AAR stated) out in Warning Area 291. From Jim Underwood OIC of the old MAWTUPAC.

August 3, 1976: 1st Lt. Wade C. Straw, 28, ejected safely when his El Toro based A-4 Skyhawk (BuNo 158432) crashed in the desert near Needles, CA, Tuesday while on a training mission. The Press-Courier, Wednesday, August 4, 1976. The pilot was part of a two plane low level training flight an A-4M Skyhawk. They began a descent from flight level 230 so the VFR portion of the flight plan could be conducted. As the aircraft were passing flight level 210 the leader performed a 360-degree roll to the left to increase his rate of descent and to observe his position in relation to the low-level start point. Coming out of the roll at about 300 knots the nose began to rise. He countered with forward stick and noted that the nose trim was in the vicinity of zero and not coming up. There wasn't enough forward stick available so he used the stick trim button in an attempt to trim nose down. The pilot then began getting erratic input movements in the stick which wanted to do its own thing, moving in all quadrants. The nose continued to rise and the pilot utilized rudders to do a barrel-roll type recovery to the left. The A-4M emerged from this maneuver, left wing down, in a left hand spiral, 60-80 degrees nose low. The pilot reduced power and extended speed brakes and tried to check disengagement of stab Aug. He disconnected as a last resort just prior to ejection. NAN, Pettibone, February 1977. It was determined that the AFCS had an internal short and was inputting sporadic movements to the stick even though it was not engaged. A check with the Safety Center, indicated this had occurred a few times previously. The procedure in this case was to employ the RAT which takes the AFCS off line. Wade never indicated that he considered this, but instead pulled the disconnect which made the situation much worse. The board found that pilot action contributed to the accident. From Harvey Crouch.

June 9, 1981: Capt. Joseph J. Krejmas, 27, of Greenfield, Mass., ejected safely from his MCAS El Toro A-4 Skyhawk (BuNo 159481)before it crashed next to the Southern Pacific railroad's main line slightly damaging one rail of the track, forcing traffic to be halted for slightly over an hour. Santa Ana Orange County Register, Tuesday, June 9, 1981. I was Ops Officer of 214 when this happened. It happened in the break when the pilot retarded power on the turn to down wind. Everyone assumed that he pulled the throttle around the horn, which shut down the engine. However, it was a broken PS-4 line, which caused the power to reduce to idle (think that's right) rather than shut down. Pilot was J.J. "Famous" Krejmas. From Bob Hickerson. VMA-214 A-4M BuNo 159481 was destroyed at Yuma after aircraft crashed while in landing pattern, 09 June 1981. Pilot ejected. Naval Safety Center via Jim Winchester. The pilot was in the air station landing pattern with gear down when he noted a loss of thrust upon reduction of power. He advanced the throttle to military but noted no engine response and an increasing angle of attack. The pilot leveled the wings and ejected at the 90 degree position. From Aircraft Mishaps.

February 18, 1983: Unknown USMC pilot okay, landed short, halted when nose gear became stuck in arresting cable, caught fire Twenty-nine Palms, CA and was SOC March 15, 1983.

May 28, 1983: Capt. Mike “Nacho” Lyden (VMAT-102 flying WTI (Weapons and Tactics Instructor) VMA-214 A-4M BuNo 160028) was on a low level laydown on Target # 103a, North Tactical Target, (S of GBN) a simulated train marshaling yard with 1/7th scale train targets, from west to east into the early sun and gradually rising terrain with a pitted wind screen. He hit the ground on pull-up and the aircraft separated behind the cockpit. Nacho safetied the seat, opened the cockpit, released his fittings and crawled out. Only injuries were burns on his wrists and neck. RF-4 overhead actually captured it on film… From Paul E. Backs, 28 January 2016. The jet had Captain Ken Ferrara's (sp?) name nicely painted under the canopy rail. He was thoughtful enough to call me in the Yuma hospital and congratulate me on surviving . . . and that 160028 was 'his jet'. From Mike Lyden. The seat with Mike still attached was flung free and landed in a desert bush, upright, He was initially unconscious, but when he regained consciousness he released his fittings and with help from medical personnel headed for Yuma. I was on the accident board and arrived at the site about 30 minutes after the accident, there were very few large pieces of the aircraft remaining. The accident was not in the R-2301 east of Yuma. From Cliff Gion. VMA-214 A-4M BuNo 160028 was destroyed at Yuma when aircraft struck ground during bombing run, 28 May 1983. Pilot sustained major injuries. Naval Safety Center via Jim Winchester.

SEP65: Greg Boyington (white shirt) visiting VMA-214's Blacksheep at Chu Lai, South Vietnam. Pappy showed up in Chu Lai from Danang one day, unannounced, having bummed a ride on a C-124 (sometime around September 1965). His appearance was not an official visit. Some of the higher-ups were a little "mortified" and not sure what to do. The 214 Blacksheep were quite thrilled to meet Pappy and hear a few tales. It was also about the same time that the O-Club opened and there was a directive from above that no one was allowed to have any liquor in their tent area. Pappy's arrival was a good excuse to get rid of all that privately owned booze. An interesting evening!

09JUN81: A-4M Skyhawk BuNo. 159481 The pilot successfully punched out, the plane skidded on the desert floor and came to a stop near Marine Corps Air Station Yuma, Arizona. The Skyhawk was in the landing pattern for Yuma when it experienced a failure of the Pb4 (burner pressure) sensing line at the connection to the fuel control moisture trap. This failure caused the engine to immediately go to idle. If the pilot had more altitude he would have had time to switch to "manual" fuel control and recover, but he only had time to jam the throttle to the military stop, decide he was in trouble, and punch. The Skyhawk basically pancaked in, at the position shown in the picture. The fuselage was cut apart during the mishap investigation in order to remove the engine in an "as-is" condition for the E.I. at NARF Jax. With minor repair and replacement of the broken line we heard the engine ran 4-0 (perfectly). The pilot is reported to have been Captain Joe "Famous" Krejmas.

15APR83: A-4M Skyhawk BuNo. 160041 Bites the Dust.
"If there's an A-4 on static display at 29 Palms, it's probably from VMA-214's mishap occurring in early '83 at the "Stumps" expeditionary airfield.
The pilot in BuNo. 150041 side number WE-7 landed short of the runway during a night approach to landing due to weathered lenses on the runway approach lights (Ball). To the pilot it looked just like a centered "ball" all the way to touchdown --- a quarter mile short of the runway threshhold.
The landing ripped the main landing gear from the Skyhawk and the aircraft skidded overland to the runway and then down the runway until the nose gear caught the arresting gear cable and swung 180 degrees to a stop. Pilot walked away with a lot of help from the CFR guys.
The engine and as many useable parts as possible were salvaged. The hulk was left for crash crew to play with; but maybe later someone tried to fix it up." Photographs and text by John W. Street, MgySgt, USMC-Ret.
