An EA-6A Intruder and AV-8B Harrier II were added to the Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point Historical Aircraft Park to accompany the existing CH-46D Sea Knight “Pedro” and EA-6B Prowler. The park expansion will offer seating, a gazebo and walking path that supplements the four static displays, and signs to learn about the aircraft’s capabilities, mission, and legacy.
Construction began in May, and the park is scheduled to open at 3:30 p.m., July 21, initiated by the ribbon cutting ceremony.
As the air station prepares to base six F-35 Lightning II squadrons, this park serves to pay tribute and embrace the 80 years of naval aviation history of MCAS Cherry Point.
