Thanks guys! I thought the picture was interesting. Guess it could make for a cool dio subject. -Gregg

Beautiful work, Eric! -Gregg

How often would this happen? >>> VF-84 Tomcat <<< Parked on deck with the wings fully swept out? -Gregg

Yeah, we have a whole lot of hypersonic aircraft laying around to simulate cruise missiles of that velocity. The Hunter was most likely being utilized in an EW role. -Gregg

Excellent build and display! Bravo! -Gregg

They had one for a brief time. >>> VAQ-35 <<< -Gregg

The Navy use to have squadrons dedicated to that role. >>> VAQ-34 <<< -Gregg

They sometimes provide other roles besides red air DACM. -Gregg

Apparently a civilian contracted Hawker Hunter was what went down. Prayers for the pilot. -Gregg

I believe -34 & -37 are now going through transition. That would make fleet squadrons out of the Legacy Hornet business. VFA-83 Rhino: -Gregg

VFA-34, VFA-25 & VFA-86 all transition from coast to coast to meet their respective air wings so its not without precedent. -Gregg

-Gregg

They apparently are now attached to CVW-11 aboard the TR, tailcode NH. CVW-8 currently doesn't have an 1XX modex squadron yet. -Gregg

Seems like the logical choice. Beaufort and Cherry Point are other possibilities. -Gregg
