                        Carrier air groups identified?
                        Posted by sgtmac on Thursday, July 10, 2008 7:01 PM

                        How can you find out what air groups were assigned to which carriers during their deployments? I would like to build a correct period Nimitz class carrier in 1/350th and I was wondering who could tell me what groups and airplane complements were aboard during the years since the Nimitz class was started.

                        Thank you!

                        The Air Groups rotate between carriers over time.  Squadrons occasionally change within groups during their time. If you pick out a specific time, you can research what Groups/Squadrons were aboard a particular carrier at that time.
