i.e., to what degree are they exposed to fighter/attack stuff?
by the same token, could the growler community tap on hornet drivers should the need arise?
i would assume the growler driver has some access the the ew system and may at times function as an 'assistant ecmo' (which i guess, would require formal training) or is there a strict separation of duties?
i remember during f-14d development that, although the system in theory would allow the pilot significant access to sensor management (much more so than in the f14a/b), the rio's were generally opposed to it.
