VF-31 and -213 Information??

[[email protected]]

I'm looking for any current contact info for VF-31 and/or VF-213.
Neither of them have current web-sites, or at least not ones that are
accessible by John Q Public.

I'm trying to get information about the markings on their current
deployment as well as info on what happens when they come back -
decommissioning or transtion to the Super Bug?

Any help out there? I'm also emailing the (unofficial) Tomcatters web
site admin...

Regards,
Sam Fischer

You might try and ask them to forward to the
VF-31 & -213 mail drop.

As to the possible transition schedule; from a Boeing contact (works on
the F/A-18G project) I am told:

213 gets the F; scheduled for May 2006
31 gets the E; scheduled for Aug. 2006

I've also heard VFA-31 is gonna get F/A-18Es, because VFA-22 is
probably to switch from the single-seat E to the dual-seat F model (the
first F/A-18 squadron ever to do that!), and remain in CVW-14 instead
of returning to CVW-8 (as it was planned before).

By the way - sorry, there is no more F/A-18G - the current designation
is EA-18G :)
