Doesn't ring a bell, but Snort was XO/CO of VF-33 and dept head in VF-143 so it could have been either one of those squadrons.
That's it, he was with the Pukin Dogs when Snodgrass was a DH.

Woo, speculation! In that case, I heard something about their Tomcats being totally useless due to total lack of trained maintenance personnel and spare parts.
We better have one f*cking good SEAD plan - or a ton of Tomahawks!!
Besides you have to give these Hornet drivers something to do![]()
Added to that a sophisticated aerospace industry - I'm guessing IIAF Tomcats still have some teeth left, albeit in reduced numbers.
Does it matter if they can fly or not? Any attack we would make on Iran would surely involve destroying the Iranian Air Force on the ground...
A section of Superhornets loaded 10/0/2 will reduce that number substantially further.
The Phoenix missle inventory has apparently been kept alive with batteries (I guess this is a component that wears out frequently) from China.
