The aircraft were two-seat variants, and each pilot was accompanied by a weapon systems officer (WSO). The lead Super Hornet was flown by Commander David Fravor, commanding officer of Strike Fighter Squadron 41. The second fighter, flying as wingman, included Lieutenant Commander Jim Slaight as one of the two officers aboard. The other female pilot and Fravor's WSO wish to remain anonymous.
Fravor put FASTEAGLE 02 (wingman) into high cover passing through about 15K and the pilot and her WSO witnessed the events from a perfect vantage point.
