Carrier Air Wing

Hello. User BillCJ thought you might be an expert on US carrier operations and I had a question that he could not answer. Therfore I hope you might be able to. I updated the Carrier Air Wing [1] article on the German Wikipedia. Concerning the personnel I found no description of what the "air transfer officers (ATO)" and the "air wing line leading petty officers" do (to be able to translate the terms). Can you help? Thanks - Cobatfor 08:25 UTC, 24 June 2008 —Preceding comment was added at 08:27, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. The Air Transfer Officer is typically a Lieutenant Commander assigned to the carrier Air Department. He runs the Air Transfer Office. He coordinates (with the ship's Air Operations Officer, Operations Officer, and Air Boss) everything (people, equipment, postal mail, supplies, etc.) that will be transferred via C-2 or helicopter. Obviously, there is much competition for what gets to go via air. 'When' the CODs come and go must also be closely coordinated so as to not disrupt strike operations.

Line LPOs: The "line shop" refers to the squadron Plane Captains, who work the "flight line" (ashore) and carrier flight deck. These young sailors prepare their aircraft for flight, do pre and post flight inspections, ride the brakes when the aircraft is moved, wash the jets, etc. This is an entry level job. After some time, PCs usually go on to become aircraft mechanics. Their leader, the Line LPO (and the Line Chief Petty Officer) coordinates their efforts. Because the PCs are a young bunch, they need lots of "care and feeding" and are prone to getting in trouble off duty. This makes the LPO's job all the more interesting and critical! There are usually two Line LPOs per squadron, one day and one night. Probably more information than you wanted to know… Cheers. E2a2j (talk) 18:07, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wonderful! Now I know what these lads do (but I still have to translate it...). And your little this and that was really interesting. Thanks a lot - Cheers Cobatfor 21:40 UTC, 24 June 2008 —Preceding comment was added at 21:41, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I wanted to ask, why did you remove the CVW-11 composition from the CVW page to CVW-11. It was posted there to show the typical composition on an air wing, with squadrons and personnel. Especially the personnel is not available anymore now in the CVW article. - Thanks and Cheers Cobatfor 14:12, 23 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cobatfor, I am currently re-writing the Carrier Air Wing article. I will include historical and current composition. I did not think it appropriate to single out CVW-11, particularly the name of he Cag. Anyway, please take a look at what I post and let me know what you think (or edit mercilessly!). Cheers backatcha.E2a2j (talk) 15:10, 23 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Very nice! (Only that in 1965 VAHs did not fly any A-5s anymore) It was actually a shame that a German (me...) more or less had to write an article about a US Carrier Air Wing... I wonder, as CVW-17 will probably be assigned to CVN-70, if this will lead to a change of tail code. The last Pacific fleet air wing with an "A" tail code was CVW-16 in 1971. Cheerio Cobatfor 21:21, 23 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the fix. I still have to clean it up some and put in the cites. I don't think CVW-17 will change their tail code, but I will check as I know plenty of those guys.E2a2j (talk) 00:28, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I "edited mercilessly" (a little bit). However, as you know the CVW-17 guys, can you ask what squadrons are or will be assigned to CVW-17? Thanks Cobatfor (talk) -- 19:45, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, again! I found this news [2] on the CVN-70 website, making it appear that CVW-17 will depart in 2010 with a mix of CVW-17 and CVW-8 squadrons. Do you have any other news? Happy holidays Cobatfor (talk) -- 22:45, 19 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

T-34 Mentor

If you can, would you take a look at at your edits here at 800x600 screen resolution? I think then you'll understnd my issue, and why I made the changes that I made with the images. By the way, I did keep the image you added, but removed one I added a few months back. Thanks. - BillCJ (talk) 02:36, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I felt it was important to have a prominent Turbo picture as 100% of the US Navy T-34s are Charlies and have been for decades. Although it looks very similar to the older aircraft, the Charlie is actually completely different - engine, fuel system, landing gear, avionics, etc. Even the internal structure/skeleton is substantially different. Agree that the placement was bad; thanks for the fix. E2a2j (talk) 03:19, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to move that Charlie pic to the Lead spot, but I think the one that is there of the Bravo is a better picture, esp in angle and background. I'll look around and see if I can find a better one of a CHarlie to put in the lead.

Btw, I've been mulling splitting of the T-34C to its own page. THe main problem is having enough content to fill out both articles after the split, and we don't have that as yet. But as the article is expanded, we will hopefully get to that point in the future. I've also considered splitting of the dedicated carrier trainer versions of combat aircraft to their own pages, such as the TA-4J (and perhaps F), and the TF-9J. I split off the Zephyr carrier version of the Magister last month, but the others have a ways to go. If any of those projects seem like something you'd want to be involved in, let me know. - BillCJ (talk) 04:24, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speicher

Just my 2 cents:

I'm a Navy F18 pilot that flew in Desert Storm. I knew Spike.
I believe that the consensus of the intellegence community and the USN is that Spike was downed by a MiG-25.
I think that it is notable for mention for this article.
I've never seen any evidence of (or reason for) a "cover up".
These citations are pretty solid: http://www.foia.cia.gov/docs/DOC_0000588922/0000588922_0001.gif, and the thoroughly documented book "No One Left Behind: The LT. Comdr. Michael Scott Speicher Story" by Amy Waters Yarsinske (Publisher: NAL Trade (May 6, 2003), ISBN-10: 0451208676).
My opinion might not be worth the full 2 cents...E2a2j (talk) 16:11, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Odd VFA-211 edits

Do you have any idea what this nonsense is about? I assume it's somekind of squadron rivalry, but I really don't know. Thanks. - BillCJ (talk) 23:23, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You got it right, Bill. Squadron non-sense. "Mutha" is a trophy that is awarded anually to a fighter squadron based on "spirit" as determined by the Fleet Replacement Squadron CO (or his wife). Once it is won, it is great sport for the other squadrons to try to steal it. Squadrons attempt to/steal other squadron's prized possessions (the "bones" of -103, the Bull head of -37, the wildcat of -131, etc.). Needless to say, it's a huge discrace if your stuff is swiped. Those things are photographed in all manner of compromising/unflattering positions. These guys aren't really trying to vandalize wikipedia, they're just trying to raz thier rivals. Apologize on thier behalf!E2a2j (talk) 00:56, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

OK, that's what I figured. I guess it's a sign of WP's popularity too. I understand theey aren't trying to vandalize WP per se, but the result is the same. I'll let a few admins know if the edits continues to be a problem. Thanks. - BillCJ (talk) 01:15, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

List of units of the United States Navy

Hi E2a2j. Firstly as a Kiwi let me say it's great to have you guys (the CVWs) out there. And thanks for your work on Strike Fighter Wing Atlantic - great to have these things written up well. If you get the chance to take a look at or fix the above article at any point, it would be good, as the SNDL is sometimes a bit hard to understand at points. Kind regards Buckshot06(prof) 09:17, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Buckshot, Thanks for the appreciation. You are absolutely correct - the SNDL is very difficult to keep track of. Problem is that Navy units have two chains of command, operational and administrative, and they change quite often. I'll take a swipe at it. E2a2j (talk) 18:43, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks E2a2j. I've stuck with SNDL version listing Fleet Chain of Command for my edits, and yes am aware that for example a VFA would both report to itš CVW and to Strike Fighter Wing (Lant or Pac), but now only Lant if I understand correctly. Looking at the SNDL under the numbered fleets, had another question for you. Eg the latest, version April 2009, Sixth Fleet has 'BATFORSIXTHFLT,' and never lists "CTF-60,' but then lists CTF 63 without listing SERVFORSIXTHFLT. Is there a reason some Forces are listed without their TF identifier, and others simply as CTF whatever? Kind regards Buckshot06(prof) 14:15, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Buckshot, with regard to chains of command: a VFA commanding officer reports only to his CAG - the guy who writes his fitness report! He really only interacts with CSFWL when he's shore based, swapping airplanes/parts/etc. I believe you might misunderstand the Lant/Pac thing. CSFWP and CSFWL are coequals. Actually, one's more equal than the other...Pac is the "lead" in this case, meaning that he carries 51% of the vote if it comes down to a tie break. As a Lant VFA type, I would have absolutley no interaction with CSFWP. The numbered fleets are strange animals. The typically command very few, if any, permanent forces/ships. BF6F is analogous to CTF60, which could have ZERO ships in it. As a Carrier Strike Force leaves the east coast on deployment, they're under C2F control. As they pass through the SOG (Gibralter), they "chop" to C6F and become CTF-61 (or CTF-6x). When they enter the Suez, they "chop" to C5F, etc. It's a bit confusing, even (especially?) for those actually changing time zones, titles and bosses. Sorry if I haven't especially cleared things up. If you look at my user page, you'll see that I have a bunch of stuff there from this project - I'll get to it when the weather isn't so nice outside! Please let me know if I can clarify anything more immediately. Ciao.E2a2j (talk) 02:08, 14 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks E2a2j for that prompt reply. Not having looked CSFWP up, I had thought it had done what Fighter Wing Pac had done earlier as the F-14s went away - dissolved and merged into Fighter Wing Lant. I well understand that type wings on each coast have nothing to do with each other. I have a reasonable understanding of the operating fleet organisation - indeed I wrote much of the intro to United States Navy operating forces organization saying much of what you said above. My question is the titling of the subordinate TFs. There appear from the SNDL to be no hard-and-fast rules why BATFORSIXTHFLT is referred to as that, and not TF 60, and why TF 63 and not SERVFORSIXTHFLT. Are you aware of any such arcane rule? Sorry to keep on going over and over this question, but there's certain things I cannot seem to fully understand, despite having read around the subject quite a bit. Best wishes for the weather over there & kind regards from the UK, Buckshot06(prof) 12:39, 14 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry - I don't know why we do that! If I come across something I'll let you know. Cheers.E2a2j (talk) 01:10, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Men in Black, Thomas Jefferson, Wall of Separation

To see the statement of Thomas Jefferson regarding a wall of separation between church and state, please check this quote from the book, "Men in Black" by Mark Levin.

Levin quotes from the letter of Thomas Jefferson to Baptist in Danbury, Connecticut, "I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should 'make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof' thus building a wall of separation between church and state."

Please keep in mind that Thomas Jefferson, our greatest president, advised, question boldly even the existence of a God ... . Also remember that Thomas Jefferson was called the Infidel from Virginia prior to his election as president by the religious people. —Preceding unsigned comment added by RHB100 (talk • contribs) 20:45, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Disbanded VS Disestablished

RE: F-14 Tomcat. Hi there, I know it's kind of a US Navy's habit (seriously, I don't know who could come up with such a term that is already in use primarily by the church~?!) to use the term "disestablished" when it comes to the deactivation of a flying squadron. Of course, the USAF has been using the term "deactivated" all along when it comes to such issue and is not much different from "disbanded". But if you do a search in any online dictionary, you will see that the term "disbanded" comes closer to the actual meaning than "deactivated" or the ridiculously coined "disestablished", so I would appreciate if you could leave the correct word as it was. Remember the WP guideline: omit needless word and keep things simple. Thank you. --Dave ¹¹⁸⁵ 17:03, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, E2a2j/Carrier Strike Group. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - Carrier Strike Group. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will to continue helping improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Carrier Strike Group - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia.

Disambiguation link notification for June 16

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Area 51, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Restricted Area (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

601st Air Operations Center

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a search with the contents of 601st Air Operations Center, and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: 601st Air and Space Operations Center. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. CorenSearchBot (talk) 14:43, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
