From the ariticle spaz quoted in the post a few above:

"By midday Thursday, the jets had carried out over 101 catapult launches from the carrier, 214 planned "touch and go" landings, and 104 arrested landings...."

If find that pretty impressive for a week or so of work. Just the 2 airframes and 4 pilots correct? I'm sure they have a bevy of support staff and spares aboard, but seems to indicate no major down time.
