How many Naval Strike Wing pilots past SeaJet and current GR7/9 jockeys have had F-18 experience? I can think of a couple of past 800/899/801 COs in recent years havign experience on exchange to VX-9 at NSAWC China Lake but they also flew other a/c there such as AH-1W and predominantly AV-8B.
Or to the USMC to fly F-18? There's quite a few RAF FJ crews that have gone on exchange to fly the USMC F/A-18s back then and now.
So say 3 in the last 5 to 10 years, for the FAA how many prior to that?
