FeetDry Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 When did VAQ-136 become part of CVW-2 ? I thought they were assigned to CVW-9 ? What VAQ squadron is in CVW-9 then ?!! They recently moved from CVW-9 to CVW-2 so that VAQ-131 could begin the Growler transition later this spring. CVW-9's website has just been updated, showing VAQ-133 Wizards as being back in the airwing. Last year it was released that -133 would go to CVW-8 after transition, but Bush/CVW-8 just deployed with VAQ-134. HTH, Jeff Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ronald Reagan is currently underway, conducting tailored ship's training availability. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Kimberly L. Romanowski/Released) I've noticed in this shot (the USS Ronald Reagan lettering) and several others in this Thread that the stencils on current Navy and Marine Corps aircraft are now being done in a commercial font, instead of the old 60 degree slant lettering that was used for years, and is called for in the -2161B. Does anyone know what font it being used now? Thanks, Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Midway Sailor Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Does anyone know what this pod is on this factory fresh F/A-18E Super Hornet? Close-up: Or this factory fresh EA-18G Growler? Speculation in a Facebook group has it as an AN/AWW-13 Advanced Data Link pod, but it's missing all of the exterior detail and paneling: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
