I am one of those "some" N9373M.
I'm a former 'T-Bolt' myself - Jul 02 to Aug 03.
401 is probably the squadron CO's aircraft and that is why it is painted up.
Not sure if they are currently a land-based squadron or in the boat rotation.
Thanks for sharing!

She "belongs" to a Lt Col, call sign "Pistol" I looked closer and there is a square panel between the "401" and the wing root that has "GET M/T" written in chalk on it. Any clue what that means? the panel is about the same size of the painted "401".
thanks for your service USMC.

The panel you describe sounds like the gun bay door, but the letters you say are there aren't ringing a bell right now.

IIRC, I got there on Saturday and they were buzzing about when I was checking in to the hotel. They were still there when I left on Sunday when I took the pics. Small world.
