MEDIA ADVISORY:
Members of US Navy Fighter Attack Squadron 115 to Present
Engine 54,Ladder 4 and Battalion 9
With Squadron Flag and Replica F-18 Superhornet
Members of the US Navy Fighter Attack Squadron
115, along with representatives from Boeing, tomorrow will
be at Engine Company 54 / Ladder Company 4/ Battalion 9, “The
Pride of Midtown,” to present the firehouse with a squadron
flag and a 6-foot replica of an F-18 Superhornet. The squadron
was stationed aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln in the Persian
Gulf and formed a unique relationship with the members of
the firehouse. Members of the squadron, as a tribute to those
FDNY members killed on 9-11, placed each name of the members
of 54/4/9 on their jets and wore the firehouse patch on their
flightsuits while conducting their missions over Iraq. Prior
to this event, the two units have only met once before. However,
both sides feel that a lasting bond has been forged between
the two.
