  Notes:

  1.  To meet operational and essential exercise requirements, FLT Aircrew and LACs are moved between flights. Therefore, several personnel satisfy the question, though not all are on current ops.

  2.  Records/data prior to August 1998 not available.

  3.  RFA roulement of crews on set cycles regardless of ship deployment—no significant change.
