Talk:List of active United States Marine Corps aircraft squadrons

message: I changed the layout of the HMLA section.  Looking for feedback.  Worth keeping?  Go back to just the straight list?  Just trying something different.  Let me know--Looper5920 23:25, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Layout

message: I have been messing around and was looking for some feedback on what others thought of maybe making the list look like the chart below.  Interested to hear feedback.--Looper5920 08:48, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, I think that would look great.  Maybe just try switchin the insignia with name:...mmmm...maybe, but I think it looks good either way. :) Joe I 09:57, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

text: Maybe, but you risk losing detail in insignias if you go smaller.  Try it on one of the bigger sections and see.  Joe I 09:43, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  It looks sharp but it is pretty big.  What do you think? --Looper5920 10:08, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

text: I think it looks sweet! Maybe italics for nickname? See first three.Joe I 12:26, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Making the list look better

message: {| class="wikitable" style="text-align: center;"	        	
Official Name	Insignia	Nickname
HMH-361      	        	Flying Tigers
HMH-362      	        	Ugly Angels
HMH-363      	        	Red Lions
HMH-461      	        	Iron Horse
HMH-462      	        	Heavy Haulers
HMH-463      	        	Pegasus
How about this...Smaller tables, split into two columns with picture to the right.  Does this look better?  Manageable?
: I actually like the long one better, this one it makes seem less like a continuous list. But I still like how it brings everything together and the insignias add color.  I like either one over the current system.  Joe  I 11:37, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree that the longer table looks better but if you pro-rate that for all of the squadrons involved on this page this thing will become huge.  I am trying to strike some kind of balance. --Looper5920 12:25, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, I know, that's why I said either would be better than current.  It will make the list more managable, and will help bring pictures that are on the side, more into the list.  Joe  I 12:29, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Another attempt 

message: Great job, the tables have turned out excellent I think.  They fit fairly nicely with photos as well.  Joe  I 08:57, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Formating

message: Okay, I've always been confused by the Navy and Marine Corps naming conventions. To somebody like me (and I'm a 48 yr old Air Force brat and ex-Army), it seems like the "official" name would actually be "Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 115", and the unit designator would be "VMFA-115". To someone like me it also makes browsing through lists like :Category:United States Marine Corps fixed wing squadrons easier to see at a glance what types of roles/aircraft the various units are. It would be a huge undertaking, but has anybody on the Aviation task force proposed renaming the articles so it's easier to identify what type of units they are? The preceding comment would of course apply to Naval Aviation as well, I don't know if there's a master list/category that contains both Marine and Navy aviation to use as an example. But, with no Navy/Marine background, I could be wrong. Just a comment from somebody not familar with this, and it would probably help quite a few others like myself. wbfergus 15:54, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The chart would really be useful. The current designator naming is just meaningless (to me), especially when looking at a list like :Category:United States Navy squadrons or :Category:United States Marine Corps fixed wing squadrons. I asumme the V must signify aviation, and as you said the M signifies Marines, but the remaining letters don't make any sense unless you're already intimately familar with Navy and Marine Corps aviation naming conventions. But, on a different note, the page does look super nice and makes a good show of removing the mystery out of the naming conventions. wbfergus 19:50, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Just to clear it up...the V actually means "Fixed Wing".  I'll add the chart as soon as i can--Looper5920 20:06, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Naming Convention

message: The page looks great!  Question though... the page lists an historical Marine Corps Target Towing Detachment.  Would there be value added by including the current Marine Corps VMR Detatchments?  Hebron 09:35, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Adding Detachments 

message: "The Marine Corps’ light attack squadrons are composite squadrons usually made up of 18 AH-1W Cobras and 9 UH-1N Hueys."
:I am not Cobra/Huey aircrew but 27 aircraft for a squadron sounds a little extreme. Any sources to back this up? --131.122.190.32 01:40, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The current mix is 18 AH-1W/9 UH-1N. Check the current Marine Aviation Plan (2007 Av Plan) on the Department of Marine Aviation web page Hma1369 00:24, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  number of aircraft in HMLA squadrons 

message: VMGRT-253 is the KC-130 FRS. It is apart of MAG 41. It probably should be added right below Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadrons. --ProdigySportsman 01:07, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe it used to be there.  However, it was recently deactivated, so it is now in the section for deactivated squadrons. — ERcheck (talk) 02:37, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Though it is still listed on MAG-41's website, if you follow the link to VMGRT-253's website, you will find one of the final messages from the commanding officer about the decommissioning. — ERcheck (talk) 02:41, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the info ERcheck, FRS has moved to VMGR-234 I hear (they got a new motion sim). --ProdigySportsman 04:50, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  VMGRT-253 

message: Since the inactive sqadrons were spun off into thier own article, it shares some of the same info as this one. Instead of simply deleting the duplicate info from one of the two, I was wondering if making a history of United States Marine Corps Aviation would be appropriate and notable enough for it's own page. Bahamut0013 15:38, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've gone ahead and created the United States Marine Corps Aviation article, and moved the "history" section there. Bahamut0013 21:02, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
