The advance party to the .hip deployed from 24 Feb~uary 10Q2 to 3 Y l ~ a h lOB2 and aonri8tad of 24 enliatad personnml and two officex-m. Aircraw, conmiatin# of 13 pilot8 and t m l v s RIOS, ' wits a'addltional 77 enlisted personnel arrived at NAS Occrna on 25 February for FCLP and ACLS tsaining. Actual carrier qualification8 were conducted in the Jack#onville warning area on 29 February and 1 March in which a11 fourteen alrcrow were qualified. Support from HAS Oeeanr and the USS Kennedy waa nothing less than outstanding. They are true professionals.

3. Lessons Learned: . a. Operations

( 1 ) This was one of the most successful CQ detachments in recent history for the 'Hunters'. In three one hour tiucke spread over two days, we were able to qualify f ~ c r t e e n aircrew. We did it safely, professionally and expeditiously.

(21 The formula for success is simply stated; a sound game plan, stick to your game plan and do as much advance l i a i ~ o n as possible to ensure operational commitments are met. Sending the Operations officer and the boat OINC to the presail conference is still a must. The personal contacts only increased the cooperation between the boat and us. We knew what to expect from the ship and they knew w h a t to expect from us. There were no surprises and it was easy to follow the schedule.

( 3 ) Communlcatlon is always important and the introduction of MARSAT has made it eaay. Daily ship to shore communication was simple, eaay to uee and prevented any misunde~standings, thus allowing the 'Hunters' to adapt to changes to the air plan.

4 With the CV mrkinl) 8o frlr Csw IO..a 80eanr. there m s e no aode f ~ o m the brfolk &*ah. Thir mdh tbe placesent of witch ebewa on the the CV nearly impom8ible othes than the L3O - who walked on and walked off . Thio made it imperative that we had all eight non-delaminated ai~creft available to work our 14 pilats. Due to r one dry delay i n thr ahip'r d e p r ~ t w e from Woriolk, and combined with our lrat place on the A i ~ l m t prio~ity list, we were in jeopardy of not being able to get the deck time to ffnimh. The only thing that would prka the CQ work, fa having every aircraft in the overhead pattern at every opportunity. This is exactly what the maintenance department provided. As a direct result of an outstanding maintenance drpepbaaat, out of a i d h t rv~llrble a i r c ~ f t , all 8i$ht flew aft Co kid Oawa. A18 @%Wt airerrit remined i u l l 8yatau eayb l i . for t h e e~blr+. de*rchrrrst urd tbe Punterr mmm able to cbeok in w i U I m&rahall with all eight ai~crrft on the flrmt day. Thia mr the key to a eucce8aful and painleeo detacharnt.

b. Administration. T.

(1) Berthing at Dam bleak and WAS Oceana worked out v e ~ y well. Transportation was not a problem and the facilitiee are excellent. 6

- ( 2 ) Advance liaison paid off again by ensuring

billatlng, transportation ~ n d detachment apace8 were all arranged and coordinated prior to arrival. Traneportation to and from the CV could have been a problem, but it waa not. Norfolk provided bus service and a stake bed truck to carry the crew and pack up to the CV. In fact, the C-Q pallet and pack up remained as a unit and w a s craned on and off the b o a t whieh made the evolution painless and quick. In fact, we were the only s q u a d r o n to pailetize o u ~ pack up which meant that we were ,the f irrt to offload even though w e had last prio~ity to ue& the conveyer.

c. Safety.

( 1 ) All aircraft were fully prepared for the evolution as were all hande. Despite the fact of operating in an inherently unsafe environment, there were no FOD's, mishaps or personal injuries. Preparation and training were keyetones to this success. Because of the make-up of the CV detachment personnel (only 1 / 2 had experience on a flight deck), training w a s intensive before the det. During the dst, we familiarized all hands by a combination of watching flight ops from vulture8 r o w and assigning a buddy system to observe on deck when FRS

Encl: (1) Operational Data ( 2 ) TAD Data (3) Selected Reserve Data (4) Maintenance/Ordnance Summary

1. Per reference (a) , enclosures ( 1 ) through ( 4 ) are submitted.

2. VF-201 deployed to NAS Key West with eight ( 8 ) aircraft on 26 March 1992 for FFARP with VF-43. In 10 days, the 'Hunters' flew 93 sorties (95% completion ratel, 125.3 hours, compexed 64 separate events and received six hours of VF-43 lecture support. Aircrew, consisting of 14 pilots and 16 RIO'a, completed a one week FFARP. Aircraft arrived at NAS Key West on 26 Masch 1992 with the remaining officers and 86 enlisted personnel arriving by airlift on 27 March 1992. All flights were conducted in the W-174 area. Aircrew flew every day with every mission recorded on the TACTS range.

- 3. Lessons Learned:

a. Operations

(1) The 'Hunters' proved once again that they can put aircraft in the air. safely and efficiently, even after a ahort t u ~ n araund cycle at NAE Dallas and produce professional results without breaking stride. Having just completed a successful CQ detachment. the squadron switched gears and focused our attention on tactice and preparation for Annual Training (AT). In three short weeks, the squadron prepared for a FFARP which would allow each aircrew to Compex in ACM and receive some clas~room training on advanced tactics. This in turn would better prepare the aircrew for AT and allow us to hit the deck running at Fallon.

( 2 ) Maintenance came through with all eight (8) aircraft which supported a daily schedule of 6 turn 6 turn 4 . The 'Hunters" accomplished mope in one week than most squadrons do in two. With the support of CVWR-20 and COMNAVAIRESFOR, VF-43 provided us with F-16 and F-5 adversary. The change in plan from VF-45 to act as adversary came about when VF-101 tasked VF-45 to

i i a

Suhj: END OF ACTION REPORT FOR FFARP KEY WEST 26 MARCH 1992 - . 3 APRIL 1992

support them in an 'add on" week of training at Key West. Even though scheduled by the Key West and adversary authority months in advance, our 'Reserve' priority forced us to cancel a week of training and to seek our own adversary. Fortunately, VF-43 came through at the relatively modest price of paying per diem for 8 of their aircrew. The total cost to VF-201 for their officer per diem came to 12,880, well worth,the money epent, considering the training we received.

(3) The NAS Key West TACTS range was kept open over the weekend with the help of CVWR-20 and this enabled the squadron to fly an additional 24 sorties. Hops were structured to provide one 2V2 and one 2VX compcx practice. and two compex flights against category 2, 3 and 4 aircraft threats. Aircrew overlapped briefs to cover contingencies.

( 4 ) Advance liaison with VF-43 and NAS Key West proved to be the key to a succes~ful detachment.

( 5 ) Enough can not be said of the professionalism VF-43 exhibited and the tremendous support we received from them. Not only did they fly a 5 turn 5 turn 5 each day and RTO each event, but they also providcd lectures in the evenings after flight ops dealing with 'The Threat', 'Section Tactics' and "Strike Tactics'. Lessons learned and the lectures will undoubtedly help in our preparation for Annual Training.

b. Administration

(1) Berthigg at Boca Chica worked out well. Transportation was provided to and from town and the facilities were adequate. The BEQ was particularly helpful and went so far as to provide advance check in and room assignments by meeting the airlift at base operations. This was the case for both the advance party and the main body.

( 2 ) Advance liaison paid o f f again by ensuring all billeting and transportation was arranged prior to the squadron's arrival. Two vehicles were pre-positioned at base ops waiting for the arrival of the advance det.

c. Safety

( 1 ) Preparation and training once again proved to be an essential ingredient for a safe and mishap free detachment. VF-201 flew an intensive ACM training program and did so without mishap. In addition, there were no FOD's or injuries.

(2) The command's professional attitude and awareness

S u b j : END OF ACTION REPORT F O R FFARP KEY WEST 26 M A R C H 1992 - 3 A P R I L 1992

that safe operations are a cornerstone of combat readiness has enabled this squadron t o build on its impressive safety record.

1. Per reference (a), enclosures (1) through (4) are s

2. VF-201 deployed to Cannon AFB 6-8 October, 1992 in s of USAF exercise Pecos Thunder administered by the 27th F Wing. The detachment consisted of 4 F-14 aircraft, 8 air n 44 enlisted support personnel. VF-201 acted as the R e d A Coordinator for all Pecos Thunder events providing plans f participating F-14's, F-4's and AT-38's. The operational schedule consisted of two strikes per dav and incorporated sections of VF-201 Tomcats in each mission. - - 3. Lessons Learned.

a. Operations. I

Pecos Thunder provided a timely requalification for VF- 2 0 1 aircrew in the arms of strike p l n n n i n p n d e x e r W c

CAP/STRIKE tactics, DACT, ECM training, and aerial refueling. Weather for the exercise was consistently VFR which enhanced the training by allowing full implementation of strike plans. The training received and interaction with U.S. Air Forces was absolutely top-rate. Blue Forces were represented by F-15's, F-

--

completed 22 of 24 scheduled sorties during Pecos Thunder with the two lost sorties a result of minor damage incurred during an aerial refueling incident.

b. Administration.

The exercise went as expected with all participating personnel residing in on-base accommodations. The U.S. Air Force w a s h ~ l p f i i l i n p r n v i d i n g several v ~ h i c l e c for the squadron's ucc

which lcssexied our requirement for rental vehicles.

c. S a f e t y .

The o n l y safety-related incident, air or ground, occurred ,.n during aerial refueling with the OSAF KC-135. A description of

this 'incident £01 lows:

K C - 1 3 5 tanking was thoroughly briefed and the USAF video t a p e %as viewed by all aircrew before the exercise. The refueling probe doors on the aircraft were removed in anticipation of tanking from the KC-135 hard basker. The refueling track was oriented east-west, a factor in this incident.

Aftpr the F-lh's joinrd on tho KC-135, tanking was commenced. Due to the orientation of the refueling track, the pilot was blinded by the sun and was unable to retain good visual raforonoc with thc tanker and t a a h e ~ . He ix ladverrencly disengaged from the drogue with a significant downward motion. This action coinbined with the relative inflexibility of the KC- 135 drogue developed sufficient force to - the F-14 probe upward slightly. The aircrew elected to leave the probe extended and returned to Cannon AFB without further damage to the aircraft. As an after-action item with the U. S. Air Force, it ' was suggested that refueling tracks not be oriented into the sun w h o n tanking m- aircraft if puavible.

From: Commanding Officer, VF-201 To: Commander, Carrier Air Wing Reserve 20

Subj: END OF ACTION REPORT FOR CARRIER QUALIFICATIONS 12-21 NOVEMBER, 1992.

Ref : (a) COMCVWR-20INST 3500.4B

Encl: (1) Operational Data (2) TAD Data (3) Selected Reserve Data (4) Maintenance/Ordnance Summary

1. Per reference (a), enclosures (1) through (4) are submitted.

2. VF-201 deployed to NAS Oceana on 12 November, 1992 for refresher carrier qualification of 14 aircrew on board USS Eisenhower, CVN-69. This carrier detachment was extremely successful in terms of proper planning, safe execution, and the accomplishment of set goals and objectives. The Hunters consistently made their overhead times and demonstrated the utmost in professionalism and expert airmanship around the ship. Thirty VF-201 personnel walked aboard the USS Eisenhower on 03 November and remained aboard for the entire at-sea period. The Squadron deployed with (7) F-14A aircraft to NAS Oceana along with 28 officers and 76 additional support personnel. A l l aircrew arrived on 12 and 13 November to receive the NAS Oceana course rules briefing, emergency CQ trainers and additional F C L P work at Fentress NALF. Additionally. 14 NATOPS trainers and 15 Out-of-Control trainers were administered to VF-201 aircrew coming due for requalification. A l l 14 VF-201 pilots on the detachment were qualified for a total of 56 traps with an impressive 7.62 overall landing grade average and a hoarding rate of 98.24%.

3. Lessons Learned.

a. Operations.

The pre-sail conference was a k e y meetin9 f o r coordinating details on the Ship's plans, priorities, and intentions for the CQ period. The information our LSO, LT and our Boat Det OINC, 1 , C D R n pained from this meeting served us extremely t c r 1 1 t hrn~~ehnut the detachment.

The ATRLANT LSO, LCDR , was extremely helpful in providinc advance information about possible overheads and surgest i n c thc hest r n m r p l n n for mcct ine o i ~ r C Q rcquircm~nts.

Liaison was conducted with FITWING ONE and C O M N . A V A I R E S F O R t;o ensure weekend availability and funding for trainers at NAS Octana. This allowed aircrew to be ready for potential o v e r h e n d ~ on Monday morning, the 16th of November.

The scheduling of Fentress NALF for FCLP was not a problem. However, VF-181 requests inputs,before Wednesday of the previous week on all Fentress requirements.

The operational spaces provided by VF-142, though being rehabilitated, were completely functional and adequate. The Ghostriders were outstanding hosts during our entire stay at NAS Oceana.

As with all carrier-related operations, flexibility proved critical for success since our final overheads came on the Eisenhower's last day before pulling in. By remaining on site at NAS Oceana until the IKE's last day, the Hunters were readv and able to respond to the ship's changing schedule until all qualifications were complete.

KUDOS to our sister squadron, VF-282, for their assistance in waving our pilots at the ship. Due to the exceptionally high fecundity rates of our own LSO's, only one VF-281 LSO was able to make the entire detachment. We could not have done it without VF-282's help.

b. Administration.

Upon arrival, NAS Oceana provided transportation for all personnel and their gear to the BOQ/BEQ. The Base duty vehicle was made available to wake a trip to the rental car agencv. BOQ/BEQ accommodations were pre-arranged and were satisfactory. -

The administrative space provided was adequate and the VF-142 Admin Department supported us in every way possible.

c. Safety. '

The detachment was well planned with the goals and objectives clearly euplained to nll hands at the start. This ensured a smnnth operation 3shnre with 7ero mishaps and no injuries.

There was one personnel injury aboard the Eisenhower. Airman Cnmphell received a back injurv while lifting weiehts in the gymnasium. Hr was airlifted to the shore.

M A I N T E N A N C E SI1MMAHY

1. Advance Liaison. Support message sent to NAS Oceana detailing anticipated maintenance support items. Extensive telephone contact with VF-142 (hosring squadron) was made prior to arrival.

2. AIMD support at NAS Oceana was outstanding for F-14's.

3. Ground Support Equipment "Pa coded items such as huffers (GTC85'S & GTC185'S) were a steady problem. It sometimes required 3 to 4 huffers to launch 4 to 6 aircraft. Oceana's GSE pool response was, "the huffers should be ready for use when issued, however we always have problems with then." It appeared that minimum standards were used to achieve RFI condition instead of emphasizing reliable, top quality machines.

3. Working spaces were fairly close to Squadron aircraft and allowed easy access to all necessary equipment.

4. The following list contains repairables requisitioned during the detachment:
