Have a few questions about the job responsibilities of a Marine F-18 nfo.
1) Does the F-18D have a 2nd set of flight controls in the backseat for the wso?
2) Is it the WSO's job to find, align, and drop ordinance on targets? Is the WSO pulling the trigger on ground targets?
3) Is the WSO basically the mission commander since he is in charge of navigation, communications, and ordinance? It always seems to be a capt. piloting the plane while there is a major or Lt. Col. in the backseat (atleast in the AF).
If you have ANY info on this position, let me know. Thanks.
