170822-N-RU971-294 CORAL SEA (August 22, 2017) Air department Sailors salute the pilot of an AV-8B Harrier, assigned to the “Tomcats” of Marine Attack Squadron (VMA) 311, before it takes off from the flight deck of the amphibious assault ship USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD 6). VMA-311 concludes its “farewell tour” with the Bonhomme Richard Expeditionary Strike Group (BHR ESG) and the 31st Marine Expeditionary Strike Group (MEU) as the ESG transitions to F-35B Lightning II Joint Strike Fighters in the winter of 2017. Bonhomme Richard, flagship of the BHR ESG, is operating in the Indo-Asia Pacific region to enhance partnerships and be a ready-response force for any type of contingency.
