Jim Hill, original Marine Attack Squadron 214 pilot, examines the cockpit of an F4U-Corsair at the squadron’s hangar April 14, 2011, just as he did when he flew the aircraft almost 70 years ago in World War II. The Black Sheep hosted three out of five of their remaining founders for a reunion day and dinner, bringing them together for the first time since 1994. All served under Medal of Honor winner and first Black Sheep commanding officer Gregory “Pappy” Boyington during the squadron’s first combat deployment in the Pacific in 1943.
