Does anyone know why VMFA-115 hasn't converted over to the 'C+' (originally Lot 10/11; to late-model 'C') by now? They initiated the conversion some time ago (with one or two aircraft, one being lost). Another squadron was also to convert to the 'C+' as well.foc1 wrote:Some Hornets noted today were:

Per the latest Marine Aviation roadmap, it appears that VMFA-115 is to operate a mix of the 'A++' and 'C+' versions. Reserve unit VMFA-112 is also to receive some 'C+'s, although so far I have only noted the addition of some ex-Navy 'B's.sdamico wrote:Does anyone know why VMFA-115 hasn't converted over to the 'C+' (originally Lot 10/11; to late-model 'C') by now?
