EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2018: Tactical Flight Operations - Super Hornet and Growler
 |
| By Fred Harl |
The Aero Experience continues our coverage of tactical flight operations at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2018 with a look at the Boeing Super Hornets and Growlers we saw in the staging area (and on display in our previous post on Boeing Plaza). The Super Hornets are from VFA-32 Swordsmen, based at NAS Oceana, VA. The squadron history dates back to February of 1945, flying the Grumman Hellcat in World War II. The squadron has participated in all major combat operations since then. The Growlers are from VX-9, based at China Lake Naval Air Weapons Station, and participate in the evaluation of weapons and tactics over the vast Mojave Desert. Here we have the crews preparing to depart the staging area.
