The Chief selects departed out of Kadena Air Base for a flight with FORCM Tocorzic and CMDCM Wilkerson to demonstrate the platform’s capabilities and share updates on all the squadron has achieved during the past few months of deployment. The aircraft departed to the east of Okinawa and conducted low-level operations over the ocean before returning home.
FORCM Tocorzic, a Naval Air Crewman by trade and former Flight Engineer in the P-3C Orion, is an alumnus of VP-5. During his illustrious career, he spent a tour as an Instructor Flight Engineer with the Mad Foxes.
“It was great to have a former Mad Fox come out to share stories and compare experiences to how we’re operating today in the P-8,” said Lt. Jake Felton, one of the pilots for the flight. “It was an excellent opportunity for our soon-to-be Chiefs to get some flight time and to speak with the Force Master Chief about their upcoming promotions.”
The Mad Foxes, who are based out of Jacksonville, Florida, are currently deployed to Kadena Air Force Base in Okinawa, Japan. Throughout the deployment, they will be conducting maritime patrol and reconnaissance and theater outreach operations within 7th Fleet area of operations.
