Award-winning restoration By Clark Pierce Editor Members of the CMO-11 Tiger Team were award- ed the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal Nov. 5 by Capt. Kyle Kozad, Commander, Patrol and Reconnaissance Wing 11 for their professional achievement. According to CMO-11 Commanding Officer Cmdr. Patrick McCormick, the team planned and executed the exterior restoration of NAS Jacksonville's static P-3C Orion display aircraft located near the main gate - in only three weeks. "This volunteer team overcame equipment prob- lems, supplier shipping delays, hornet nests and challenging weather condi- tions to complete the pres- sure washing, sanding, repairing, repainting and detailing of the aircraft," explained McCormick. "Team leader AM1 James Agner and his volunteers worked all hours of the day and night, including week- ends, in order to get the job done prior to the 2008 NAS Jacksonville Air Show. Additionally, his team vol- unteered another entire week following the air show on fine detailing to ensure the accuracy and durability of their work." The aircraft's vertical stabilizer (rudder) is now emblazoned with the squad- ron insignia of VP-5, VP-16, VP-45 and VP-62, in addition to CPRW-11 and CMO-11. CMO-11 Executive Officer : . - A .

Ivan Carlson said the prep and sanding was criti- cal. "It took two weeks of pressure washing and sand- ing to get the aircraft ready for paint, which included primer and finish coats." An environmental chal- lenge was removing numer- ous hornet nests. "Some crew took a few stings for the team," said Carlson. "They also set up lights for volunteers who worked after sunset. Work also proceeded on weekends in order to meet the dead- line." Agner expressed his thanks to motorists who drove by the project for keeping his team's morale high. "Drivers were yelling, honking, waving and giv- ing our team the thumbs- up. We're glad to share our Navy pride with the rest of NAS Jax," said Agner.
