Some interesting aircraft have arrived in northeastern Italy on Feb. 7, 2022: supported by two C-2A Greyhounds belonging to the VRC-40 “Rawhides”, four Super Hornets embarked aboard USS Truman (CVN-75) currently operating in the Mediterranean Sea, landed at Aviano Air Base.
The four Super Hornets represent four of the eight squadrons embarked with CVW-1: the VFA-11 Red Rippers equipped with F/A-18F; the VFA-211 “Checkmantes”, the VFA-34 “Blue Blasters” and the VFA-81 “Sunliners” both equipped with the single seater F/A-18E. These are planned to take part in a one or two-week deployment in Italy.
