There are only two left now, VF-31 and 213, and as been reported, one
will transition immediately, one later; guess which one has the
"immediate duty" as part of FRP? The latter squadron.


Hello Mike!

I am not sure if I understood you correctly: As far as I heard in the
news, VF-213 was to enter the transition in April 2006 (some photos of
the brand new VFA-213 CAG bird can be seen at:
http://www.alert5.com/gallery/VFA-213 ), whereas VF-31 (the third
Tomcat squadron to transition to F/A-18E; VFA-22 giving them their Es
and getting Fs instead) is going to stay within the Air Wing for surge
phase until October. So that would be the other way round than you
said...

When VF-213 is out of CVW-8, another Oceana squadron might be
temporarily assigned to fill the gap. I am not sure about the status of
VFA-15 - it was slated to transition in FY 2006, but now it looks
VFA-105 took its place.
