VAW 121 BLUETAILS Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron 121 is the “Eyes of the George Washington Battle Group”. Wherever and whenever deployed, the BLUETAILS and their E-2C Hawkeye aircraft are the cornerstone of the Battle Group’s offensive and defensive capabilities. After departing Norfolk, VA and entering the Mediterranean Sea, the USS George Washington (CVN 73) was immediately tasked to take station in the Adriatic. The BLUETAILS flew daily missions in support of American troops, who along with NATO peacekeepers, were participating in Operation Decisive Endeavor. The BLUETAILS played a major role in all Airborne Battlefield Command, Control, and Communications (ABCCC) missions and assisted NATO and U.S. Air Force E-3 AWACS aircraft in maintaining an around-the-clock airborne picture of the Bosnian theater. With trouble brewing in Taiwan and the USS Nimitz (CVN 68) called away from the Arabian Gulf, the BLUETAILS’ ser- vices were again in high demand. Proceeding at top speed, the GW CVW-7 Team passed through the Suez Canal and into the Arabian Gulf to provide support for Operation Southern Watch tasking. Throughout the deployment, the BLUETAILS completed every mission with the highest degree of professionalism and safety, continuing to build on their spotless 28-year safety record of over 57,000 class “A mishap-free flight hours. The simple fact is, this record is “the finest of any east coast, carrier-based squadron is purely the result of the hard work of each and every BLUETAIL. from the most junior airman to the most senior chief and officer. Success is achieved through people, and the BLUETAIL motto of BLUETAILS Take Care of BLUETAILS” is apparent in their daily pride and professionalism. They truly have been privileged not only to have had the opportunity to be in one of the best squadrons in the Navy, but also to be part of the finest air wing, ship and battlegroup our country has to offer.
