PACIFIC OCEAN (May 9, 2017) Aviation Structural Mechanic (Equipment) Airman Jonathan Budek, assigned to the "Redcocks" of Strike Fighter Attack Squadron (VFA) 22, cleans the wing of an F/A-18F Super Hornet in the hangar bay of the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71) during a group sail training unit exercise. Group sail is the first step in the ship's integrated training phase and aims to enhance mission-readiness and warfighting capabilities between the ships, air wings and the staffs through simulated real-world scenarios.
