Abstract

The Navy plans to transition 62 F/A-18A/C/D Hornet aircraft in its fleet and reserve squadrons based at Naval Air Station Oceana in Virginia to F/A-18E/F Super Hornet aircraft beginning as early as 2018. Field carrier landing practice operations at nearby Navy Auxiliary Landing Field Fentress in Chesapeake, VA, will be reduced due to integration of the Navy's Magic Carpet technology, which automates much of the process fighters undergo when landing on aircraft carriers.
