Note that this list covers the time period before CVW-17 was transferred to the West Coast and changed their tail code to NA. I am also cutting off the Carrier list at CVN-76, and all aircraft types will be E/A-18G and older. (there had to be some cut-off point or the list would just keep growing every year.
I will update this list later in the week to add the kits that I will use for each build.
Until then, build away, folks, your stash is only going to get larger if you don't.
Rex
So Rex, I like the list with one exception: VA-94. They were brand-X in my CVW!
ReplyDeleteWhat does the number in parens mean?
Tim
The number is parentheses is the carrier number, I use it so I don't have to write Forrestal, etc, all the time in my notes. I could expand it out on here, I suppose.
ReplyDeleteSo, you must have been with VA-22? All the squadrons not on this Wing list, or on the Each Carrier list will be on the Each Squadron list later on. Hmm, Tim, you might not like my choices, lol,,,,,,,the -22 aircraft that I chose is a VFA-22 Super Hornet on the Reagan.
After thinking about it, I will expand the listings to spell out the carrier name. Thanks for the Idea
Rex
Here you go, Tim
ReplyDeleteI changed to VA-22 for this stage, and bumped "Brand X" down to their spot when I get to "each squadron"
I don't know why the font is huge and "different" like that, though
okay, found the fix
ReplyDeleteIf anyone else has served with any squadron that would swap into one of these wings, just let me know what aircraft type and ship, I will see about working your unit in, also
