Is this no longer the case or was this squadron visiting?.
FWIW the A and N letters still meant East and West coast when I retired about 10 years ago. I doubt it’s changed because it’s been that way forever. The second letter, G in this case, designated the specific air wing. I was in CAG 7 (East coast airwing) way back when and that was AG back then.
