Some of the ashes of retired U.S. Marine Corps Maj. John H. Tashjian arrive in the Vought F4U Corsair Tashjian flew during World War II (WWII) on Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, California, Feb. 16, 2023. The Corsair landed following a funeral ceremony for Tashjian. Tashjian, of Fresno, California, enlisted in the Navy on Dec. 9, 1941, just two days after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. In 1943, he transferred to the U.S. Marine Corps to be a fighter pilot, serving two tours during WWII in the Marshall and Gilbert Islands. The American fighter-bomber aircraft primarily served during WWII and the Korean War. The aircraft entered service with the U.S. Navy in 1944, with the primary mission to destroy enemy aircraft and was armed with bomb and rocket ordnance. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Sgt.
