U.S. Navy had to cannibalize parts from 3 squadrons to keep those on Truman CSG flying
Citat:When the Pentagon announced that the Truman Carrier Strike Group (CSG) will extend its cruise by another month to support Operation Inherent Resolve (OIR), the U.S. Navy was also scrambling to find spare parts to keep the strike fighters in Carrier Air Wing 7 flying.
In the end, three squadrons were identified to provide the spare parts, commodore of Strike Fighter Wing Atlantic, Capt. Randy Stearns, told lawmakers on May 26.
Stearns also disclosed that previously, the naval warfare service branch was able to surge a reserve air wing in 90 days, this has stretched to at least six months.
“There’s nothing to pull from in the back,” Stearns told seapower chair Rep. Randy Forbes in response to a question.
“We’ve already pulled everything forward. There’s nothing left.”

RCAF CF-18s – a list of hours on each airframe
Citat:The document lists 77 CF-18s in service at Cold Lake, Alberta and Bagotville, Que.
The “to be determined” columns are for “hours at retirement” and the date of retirement.
The information was current as of April 22.
It has been reported that the maximum flying hours for a F-18 is around 8,000 hours.
Four Canadian jets have more than 7,000 hours on their airframes, according to the chart provided. Forty-six have more than 6,000 hours.
The rest are in 5,000 to 5,900 range. One has just under 4,000 hours.
At this point the RCAF is still looking at a life extension to keep the aircraft flying until 2025. Sources tell Defence Watch the life extension is to proceed but it is unclear at this point how a proposed purchase of Super Hornets might affect that program.
