That's the plan. CVW-14 doesn't have a F squadron assigned.

The PAO had contacted The Hook regarding the history of when did the
_last_ seat-seat outfit (i.e. F-8s g) transition to a two-seater.
Was it when VF-191/-194 did (to the F-4), or when VF-24/-211 did (to
the F-14)?

We had a good time with that bit of trivia research.

they have pretty
much been attack-oriented from the beginning, including my time there
in the A-7E.


The days of attack and fighter communities have disappeared completely
w/ the demise of the Tomact. It's now all one big _happy_ community
called "strike".

Published news is that Reagan will leave this Sat., w/ CVW-14.


Whether VFA-22 had completed transition to the F from the E isn't known
to this poster.
