You're right - I just now noticed the E/F - saw them only with the Test Wing at Pax River - 90% were project birds and couldn't go the AIMD route for parts. Of those few others, we got only a handful of parts - the rest went to Oceana or depot.
All of my time with Hornets was with A and C birds - 4 deployments - Navy with the Cs and the Marines with the As. They were our number one customers. Same CAG for 3 of the deployments, and one VFA outfit was worst on all three. Sucketh maximus.
