Anyhow, there was an ugly accident on the very beginning of the
deployment...

I believe a double check will show that this accident was from the
_first_ deployment ...

Right! Sorry - I have been really confused by the similarity of
dates...

To answer the question about the pilot: Indeed, he was on his first F/
A-18 deployment after transition from S-3B Viking.

that VFA-22 is gonna deploy within CVW-14.

I've heard rumours that due to this fact VFA-22 will NOT transfer their
Echos to VFA-31 as planned, but instead VFA-31 is to receive the E's
planned for VFA-136. What is more, reportedly VFA-136 is going to
deploy again this summer (in CVW-8?), still with F/A-18C's!

Tee hee....funny, from a gent(me) that seemed to deploy in the oldest
of the fleet, in 2 of 3 sea duty tours(VF-33, VF-151)...F-4s in a
world of Turkeys.

Looks that Fleet Response Plan and "pool managament" of NAVAIR
squadrons finally start to make life really interesting;-)
