What is the crew composition of the Venom?

• A. Two crew: Pilot and Copilot/Gunner
• B. Three crew: Pilot, Copilot, and Gunner
• C. Two crew: Pilot and Mission Commander
• D. Four crew: Pilot, Copilot/Gunner, Crew Chief, and Aerial Gunner

Answer: (A)

A two-person flight crew. The Venom is operated by a pilot and a second crew member who serves as the copilot and gunner, sharing flight controls and weapons handling. There isn’t a separate mission commander, crew chief, or dedicated aerial gunner in the standard setup, and adding extra crew would require a larger airframe and different mission configuration. In some cases a door gunner can be used, but the typical Venom crew stays at two, making this option the correct fit.
