Comments for The Aviationist
This however cannot be said for certain, as Tinian has also another airfield- the West Field.
The rehabilitation work at Tinian airfield comes 13 years after four Marine F/A-18D Hornets from the Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 121, within the Marine Aircraft Group 12 (MAG-12), landed on the island’s West Field on May 23, 2012.
The 2024 edition of the Cope North exercise, held in February 2024, also saw USMC Hornets operating from Tinian.
While this was an ad-hoc arrangement to make the airfield suitable for high-speed jets, the current work eliminates its use.
The development of the Tinian airfield is a physical infrastructure manifestation of this broad theoretical concept dictating the use of CCAs and ACE (Agile Combat Operations).
