Reserve Naval Aviators
Naval Reserve Naval Aviators all come from the active ranks. They fly fleet type aircraft (such as the F/A-18 Hornet and P-3 Orion) as well as aircraft exclusive to the reserve force. These include the F-5 Tiger II primarily used for adversary support, and the larger cargo or transport aircraft such as the C-9 Skytrain, C-20D Gulfstream III, C-20G Gulfstream IV, C-35 Citation, C-40 Clipper, and C-130 Hercules. These aircraft are used to transport cargo and personnel, including dignitaries and senior leaders.
