Page 29: "HSL Launches 'Seahawk University.'" According to the Naval Historical Center's Aviation History and Archives Branch (AVH), the insignia depicted is not official. AVH states: "HSL-41 requested approval of this insignia in 1995. CNO's response of 17 July 1995 disapproved the insignia because of the H-60 silhouette. OPNAVINST 5030.4E prohibits the use of recognizable aircraft in the design. This eliminates the need for a change in the insignia every time a squadron transitions to a new airframe." For more information, see "Is Your Insignia Official?" (Nov--Dec 01, p. 34).

Page 31: In the review of Brad Elward's McDonnell Douglas A-4 Skyhawk, the statement that VAQ-33 was never stationed in Norfolk, Va., is incorrect. VAQ-33 was home-based in Norfolk throughout the 1970s until it moved to Key West, Fla., in 1980.
