MICHAEL OLERAY wrote: Actually, the current plan calls for ten squadrons of 5~6 aircraft each plus the FRS which will more than likely only give the ALQ portion of the syllabus. For the common initial CAT I NATOPs check, the student will probably go through Lemoore while enroute to NUW. Also, I don't think that they will be adding a "F" to the designation. At least not while, born and bred Prowler guys are still flying them. The ninety EA-18Gs would be able to support a smaller FRS and ten CVW squadrons. As for the expeditionary, the Air Force is on its own. Sincerely, Moe That sounds more reasonable. I know such plans may change a few times before being introduced - for example, when the avtechtra.navy.mil was still open to the public I saw two or three different plans of Tomcat&Hornet-to-SuperHornet transition there, including VFA-86, VFA-97, and VFA-174, no longer considered as future F/A-18E/F squadrons. Of course, this 90 a/c inculde not only aircraft for the fleet squadrons and the FRS, but also some attrition reserves. As for the lack of "F" in the designation, I cannot agree more - EA-18G should be busy enough in the EW/SEAD/strike role. And if there is not much other job available, it can easily turn into a tanker;-) [like ES-3As, also high-value assets, sometimes did] Sincerely, Jacek |
