There have been over 747 arrested landings aboard Gerald R Ford. All in 2018....

"June 2018....Since the carrier’s July 2017 commissioning, the AAG system aboard [the carrier Gerald R. Ford] has successfully arrested the F/A-18 Super Hornet 747 times,” Rolf Ziesing, an official with General Atomics’ electromagnetic systems division. “We are now in the next phase of AAG capability and performance testing targeting heavier, prop-based C-2A, E-2C and E-2D aircraft."



T-45C Goshawk are scheduled to conduct carrier quals with GRF.

thought it was obvious (sorry if it wasn't) Today at 9:35 PM I referred to the tempo

"The US Navy’s newest aircraft recovery system Advanced Arresting Gear (AAG) has performed 22 aircraft arrestments in around 26 minutes."

EDIT now a question came to mind when it was an aircraft was flown off of the Ford last time?

Jura, I don't read every post and I too await the day when JRF is fully operational.
