Does anyone have any news on this Strike/Fighter Squadron? Assigned to carrier USS Eisenhower and I have not heard anything about the squadron since they arrived back from a deployment in May 2007.

What kind of news were you after?
I know they've cleaned up with the awards. They've got about five or six IIRC – MUTHA, Battle E, Golden Wrench, to name three. As for IKE, she took part in JTFEX 07-2 (with CVW-7 embarked and alongside CVN-75/CVW-3) in July and earlier this month was somewhere off the Eastern Seaboard for CARQUALS with new aircrew. Regards, |

Just trying to determine if they are being reassigned or reoutfitted or what.....no news on the squadron either on the Navy website of the Eisenhower website. I know the Eisenhower is deployed for Carrier Qualifications but it does not appear that the squadron is on board.

VFA-103 aren't embarked on IKE - the CARQUALS were/are for the VT squadrons.
AFAIK, they're staying as an F/A-18F unit as part of CVW-7. Regards, |
