US fighter jet crashes into North Sea

@JediMaster

He went from USAF to USN? That sounds odd.

No he didn’t. The USAF has some claims on the growler for EWAR purposes. Here is his own explanatation from a few years back when he was asked about the swap (and if he was going to the boat).

@klarsnow

Not on the boat, going to expeditionary squadrons. The USAF has a squadron of WSOs ( and a few pilots) that go through the RAG and then supplement the navy, but only to the expeditionary non-boat squadrons. It’s our way of staying in the Electronic fighter warfare game now that the spaarkvark has been retired. The growler is also a joint platform so the Air Force has some call for it in various operations
