Well, now I am confused.
Not sure if anyone here can help but……
I noticed a VFA-86 E model in the pattern with the tail code AG. My memory from when I was a kid building scale models of F-14’s and A-7’s was that an A tail code was east code and an N tail code was west coast.
Is this no longer the case or was this squadron visiting?
Also, VFA-86 was a strike squadron in the past but is now flying the single seat Hornet which I assume to be more of a fighter role.
And VFA-2 was a fighter squadron in the past but is now flying the two seat Hornet which I assume is a strike aircraft?
Does each squadron have a mix of single and two seaters and does each squadron fly the same multi role mission or is there some specialization that occurs?
Cheers and thanks if anyone has the time to answer.
