ITALY (NNS) -- Fleet Air Reconnaissance Squadron (VQ) 2 will relocate
from
Rota, Spain, to Whidbey Island, Wash., effective Sept. 1.

Doesn't this beg a question; will one sqdrn be deactivated *down the
road*, given both are going to be at Whidbey?

Nope. Different coverage areas. Different administrative control.
They did the same thing with VQ-3 and VQ-4 at Tinker. When they get airborne
one turns right and one goes left. It works well.
It's a smart move so all support and training can be centrally located.
Uncle Sam needs to do a lot more "smart moves" with our tax dollars!
