But that's a 48% increase - much better than a 42% increase. But can the 'show' keep them......More opportunities for SNA selection of TACAMO.
Reports today show the current fleet of 16 E-6B to be replaced by 31 E-130J aircraft.
New Report Details E-130J Tacamo Fleet Size, Costs | Aviation Week
The U.S. Navy plans to field 31 of its next-generation nuclear command-and-control aircraft to replace a current fleet of about half that number.aviationweek.com
If we assume all the e-6s go away it’s an increase of 93.75%. If we assume the 31 e-130j will augment the e6 which is the plan (kind of - there will be an overlap period where the e-6s operate until a large number of e-130 have arrived but probably not all of them before the e6 last flight) then it will be an increase of 193.75% from 16 to 47 Tacamo assetsBut that's a 48% increase - much better than a 42% increase.

This was mostly a joke re: 42%, but do agree on the 93% overall, if program stays on track. Have fun in Havelock. There's a Dairy Queen.If we assume all the e-6s go away it’s an increase of 93.75%.
