Our Squadron is for all Marines who are or were part of Marine Air Command and Control. The name honors a small team of Marines who created an all weather bombing system in 1949 at Point Magu, California that evolved to become the Air Support Radar Team (ASRT). The equipment was sent to the Korean War as part of the 1st MAW, 1st MTACS. The radio call sign was Devastate Charlie. We are part of the Marine Corps Aviation Association.

Oldest Marine Corps Airplane



Back in the Old Corps. They don't make them like they used to. I wonder how Marine Air Control worked back then?


A Curtiss C-3 was the first plane of the United States Marine Corps, photographed at Culebra, Puerto Rico, in 1913.
