Persain Gulf (March 30, 2006) -- An F/A-18E Super Hornet from the
"Fighting Redcocks" of Strike Fighter Squadron Two Two (VFA-22) makes
its final approach aboard the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Ronald
Reagan (CVN 76), following a reconnaissance mission. Hornets carry the
Shared Reconnaissance Pod (SHARP), the latest technology in tactical
reconnaissance systems. Carrier Air Wing Fourteen (CVW-14) has used the
system while embarked aboard Reagan. Reagan and Carrier Airwing
Fourteen (CVW-14) are currently deployed as part of a routine rotation
of U.S. maritime forces in support of the global war on terrorism as
well as conducting Maritime Security Operations (MSO) in the region.
