"EF-18G".VFA-86 should have F/A-18E or F?.

Scramble Master....You are more than likely right on that. I need to get an up to date book for sure. My notes for some reason were hard to read on those as the pen was not working correctly! Appreciate your correction

For your info all the VFA-86 birds are F/A-18E,after they moved from Beaufort to Lemoore they got an upgrade.Confusing point on them several are coded NH as well.
