Aircraft Carriers that VRC-50 provided COD services and/or provided detachments.


Please let the webmaster know which aircraft carriers VRC-50 provided COD services and type aircraft.
That way I can add/remove the carriers that have not had the pleasure of VRC-50's COD services.
All it takes is one landing to qualify for COD service.
