While sitting here messing around on the computer and watching NWCN, I see a headline scroll across the bottom that reads "NAS Whidbey takes delivery of first EA-18 Growler"... Something to watch and listen for! |

The question really is whether or not Matt has got the Tail #'s and call signs yet? |

They just panned across one of them, and thanks to TiVo, I saw VAD-129 painted on it. |

What NWCN reported was they took delivery of their first "one"! Did they show only one or did it look like there was more there? |

Rather than transfer the show, strip the DRM, then get some screenshots I just took my camera to the TV. But only the last 30 minutes of live TV is saved, so I was only able to snap one picture before the segment was discarded.  The only other shots they had was of one plane (VAD-129) by itself in a hanger. |

It was paused. I cheated. I had a tripod. But it was a CRT, so I guess that helps my cause a bit. |

The VAQ-128 callsign FENIX is being used again. VAQ-128 was disestablished in May 2004. FENIX 1 flight, side numbers 151 and 152, landed at Whidbey the morning of June 4. FENIX 3, "a single F-18" landed in the afternoon. VAQ-129 is the first squadron to get the Growler, all the FENIX aircraft were on the 129 base freq 268.75. The Growler at the Whidbey ceremony had a 550 side number, so PUGET 550 might be another possiblity. |

Saw some F-18s playing at Mcchord today. Was it them? |

If they had, what looks to be orange, on the tail, then yeah, it could have been them. |
