摘要

THE OREGON Air National Guard's 142nd Fighter Wing (FW) hosted F/A-18Fs from Strike Fighter Squadron 41 (VFA-41) 'Black Aces' for two weeks of dissimilar aircraft combat training at Portland Air National Guard Base from August 11-23. Six Super Hornets and around 125 US Navy personnel from Naval Air Station Lemoore, California, visited Portland where the jets flew mainly offensive counter-air combat training, including 6-v-6, 6-V-4 and 4-V-4 missions. Morning and afternoon waves allowed both sides to fly as Blue Air and Red Air and rotate positions daily, for a combined total of almost 100 sorties.
