Is the dude in the back wearing a JHMCS? If he is, color me confused...

ECMO has global SA.....he needs no JHMCS. On a side note, I flew a lot 16 the other day with JHMCS.......I plugged my helmet in and nothing happened...sad

May be a dumb question but all the Growlers will have JHMCS correct?

pods?

 

[MasterBates]

I'm thinking misidentified F.

 

[statesman]

Yeah I didnt think you could put an AIM-9 on the port wingtip station.

And 260 is not a very VAQ-y side number.

I never know anymore. Back in the day we were 500-504

The jet VT's are still sending Navy cat 1's to Prowler land so I'd imagine it is still a way off.

Does anyone know if this is still the case?

The Navy is going to be flying Prowlers until 2014 or so. Don't know exactly when they'll be done with CAT I's at 129, but it's probably a year or two away.

pods?

Oh come on. Just when have you seen a G deigning to carry pods?

 

[Random Task]

No CAT I's (from kingsville at least) for prowlers for the last year, word in the taxiway is they are done CAT I on the navy side and won't open up to the -G for at least till next FY.

Last B CAT 1 FRS grad = late FY14
VAQ community EA-18G transition complete = early FY16

As always, subject to change, but that's the plan now.

I assume you mean that's for the dual anchor crowd, am I correct?

No, both pilots and nfos.
