air commander created good great navy office paints people picture program pull reserve shown success teamwork
I think that the teamwork shown by the program office, the Commander Navy Air Reserve Forces, VFC-13, Sikorsky and Northrop Grumman paints a really good picture and created a great partnership. A lot of people said there was no way that we were going to be able to pull this off and we did it. I don't take the credit, it was the team that accomplished this and it's a real success story.
adversary costs decided detachment establish five flying four jets key missions money navy order pilots save staff west year
The Navy tasked us with flying these adversary missions four to five times a year from NAS Fallon, Nev., but the costs of getting the adversary aircraft, pilots and maintenance staff out to NAS Key West was just getting too expensive. In order to save money we decided to establish a detachment of 12 jets permanently down in Key West.
