Long live the Hoover...

That leaves just one S-3 squadron left, correct? If so, when do they decommission?

I read that the last squadron will park then in December.

Not according to the rumors. Sad to see them go, great jet with a lot of life left in it.

VS-22 is the last squadron. The article didn't quite get it right though, VS-22 had the last Trap ever on the GW on 27MAY and then the last fly-in from a deployment on the 28th. They will continue to fly the Hoov until just before the decomm in Dec.

Last I checked, VS-32 is still flying. Will be for a while (well past Dec).
