Karl Sander Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 As was overheard in the office yesterday... "looks like exped is a good deal again..." in reference to VAQ-132's 'arduous' "deployment." Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GreyGhost Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Have you heard about CVW-14 changing their tail code to "ND" (years ago belonging to CVWR-30)? Go Navy does indeed have CVW-14 listed as ND for their tailcode ... Good question! Go Navy still has them listed in CVW-17 but not VFA-25 ... I guess all the nuts will fall into place once the tree stops shaking ... -Gregg Quote Link to post Share on other sites

EDIT: Or CVW-2 and CVW-17, considering that CVW-17's VAQ-134 is now listed by Go!Navy as a part of CVW-8, and Pacific Fleet is on the priority list now CVW-8's website also lists VAQ-134 as part of the wing. And according to a VAQ-131 news article I read recently, it sounds like they will be staying with CVW-2 for another cycle. Finding any info about or pics of VAQ-139 since Growler transition has been impossible for me thus far. I really look forward to finally seeing pics of their new jets and paint scheme.
