Khorat RTAFB (VTUN/...) 2012 MIL

Post by Le Addeur noir »

Friday 06th January,

It is believed 2 C-2A from VRC-30 Det 2 arrived this day.One of these was heard on airways(Password 27) re-joining her parent carrier(CNV-72/USS Abraham Lincoln) in the Gulf of Thailand.

The 2 C-2A of this det include modex 27.

It is possible a small number of F/A-18C from VFA-151 were also detached here.
