Grumman Air Wing on USS Ranger 1987 - The War Zone

 



TYLER ROGOWAY

We have talked about the highly diverse and numerous mix of aircraft that made up carrier air wings in decades past, and we have highlighted Battle Group Echo, the Battleship toting super flotilla that USS Ranger was a part of in 1987, but around that same time Ranger sported a unique air wing of its own.

Dubbed unofficially the "Grumman Air Wing," Carrier Air Wing Two (CVW-2) deployed aboard the Ranger in mid 1986 with mostly Grumman-built aircraft, and no light attack squadrons whatsoever.
