 Carrier Air Wing 5, the embarked air wing of the U.S. Navy's four-deployed aircraft carrier USS George Washington, completed their fly-off to signify the end of its 2013 patrol. It was good. It was good. Everybody played their part, everybody played their roles, and we got all the birds off. The fly-off signified the culmination of the George Washington Carrier Air Wing 5 team's hard work over the past six months at sea. Us working together and just being a team, everyone's motivated to get home, and I think a lot of that was key in us making this fly-off successful. The team completed numerous exercises with regional partners and allies, four Goodwill port visits, and a humanitarian relief mission in the Republic of the Philippines. For USS George Washington, I'm seen in Spencer Road.
