Some images posted on the real VFA-41 Facebook page today of the squadron aboard Stennis transiting the Suez Canal. I'm not sure the time frame of the photos.

So cool! I wish them well and thank them for their service. The carrier group is certainly the first line of defense against the growing terrorist activities from the region.
