Air Power Demo October 2012 During an extended maintenance and training period for the “Big E,” air wing squadrons amassed more than 20,000 mishap-free tactical flight hours which included four carrier flight deck certifications aboard the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN-69), USS George H.W. Bush (CVN-77), USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70), and USS Harry Truman (CVN-65). The “Big E” and Tarbox returned to theater in 2011 with CVW-1 aircraft flying more than 1,450 sorties in support of OEF and OPERATION NEW DAWN in Iraq. A quick turnaround following the 2011 deployment presented a compressed Fleet Response Training Plan to include Air Wing Fallon, COMPTUEX, JTFEX and BOLD ALIGATOR 12. Departing from Norfolk on March 11, 2012 the USS Enterprise commenced its 25th and final deployment and Tarbox quickly returned to an established battle rhythm. The air wing provided successful CAS, EW, and ABCC support to ground troops with 2,241 OEF combat sorties between May and September. As a whole, Tarbox flew more than 9,400 sorties with over 8,700 traps, participated in the EAGER LION multinational exercise hosted by Jordan, the IRON AGATE joint exercise with the UAE and USAF and Dissimilar Aircraft Training (DACT) with the Italian Navy and Air Force. 
VFA-211 2012 Homecoming With the Big E’s arrival in Norfolk on November 4th, the air wing begins some well deserved rest before launching a new partnership with the USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) currently in its mid-life Refueling and Complex Overhaul at Newport News Shipbuilding Yard. The upcoming year will be especially significant for Carrier Air Wing ONE and Team Tarbox when it marks its 75th anniversary as Naval Aviation’s “First and Foremost” air wing born in 1938 as the Ranger Air Group. 2013 CARRIER AIR WING ONE SQUADRONS: VFA-11 Strike Fighter Squadron 11 “Red Rippers” VFA-136 Strike Fighter Squadron 136 “Knighthawks” VFA-211 Strike Fighter Squadron 211 “Fighting Checkmates” VMFA-251 Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 251 “Thunderbolts” VAW-123 Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron 123 “Screwtops” VAQ-137 Electronic Attack Squadron 137 “Rooks” VRC-40 Fleet Logistics Support Squadron 40 “Rawhides” HS-11 Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron 11 “Dragonslayers” DEPLOYMENT HISTORY: Ranger Air Group established on July 1st, 1938 CV-4 USS RANGER Jul. 11, 1938 - Jul. 16, 1938 (EastPac Fleet Review) CV-4 USS RANGER Jan. 4, 1939 – Apr. 20, 1939 (San Diego, Cuba, Norfolk) CV-4 USS RANGER Oct. 28, 1939 – Dec. 8, 1939 Atlantic, Caribbean) CV-4 USS RANGER Oct. 2, 1940 - Dec. 12, 1940 (Bermuda, NS Argentia, Newfoundland) CV-5 USS YORKTOWN May. 23, 1941 – Oct. 2, 1941 (Multiple Atlantic Neutrality Patrols) CV-4 USS RANGER Oct. 2, 1941 – Dec. 8, 1941 (Atlantic, Caribbean) CV-4 USS RANGER Dec. 21, 1941 - Mar. 22, 1942 (East Atlantic) CV-4 USS RANGER Oct. 1, 1942 – Dec. 1, 1942 (East Atlantic, OPERATION TORCH) CV-4 USS RANGER Mar. 23, 1943 – Jul. 27, 1943 (Atlantic, Newfoundland)
