The last official comment I saw here about the Close Air Support Format was that it's "not correct for our version"
What prompted that? It should be, so what does ED need for evidence?

We have the 2002 paper which details every element of it's functionality more so than any system we currently have...
Official technical document from 2001 describing "Free Text Messages" use via the Variable Message Format for transmitting and receiving CAS mission data. This is done via the Comm 2 ARC-210 (DCS)

"F/A-18C/D AFTER AFC 269 one ARC 210 DCS (Digital Communication System). The ARC 210 DCS is only installed as a comm 2 radio"
"With AFC 270 the Multifunctional Information Distribution System (MIDS) is installed."

AFC 269 and AFC 270 are BUNO 163427 and up (Lot 10 Hornet)
Our aircraft is the second to last Legacy Hornet produced at BUNO 165407

The ARC-210(DCS) and VMF/CAS format absolutely belong on our 2005 aircraft.
