Another AV8RSTUFF Creation: VA-75 was the first fleet squadron to operate the A-6E Intruder, but their legacy dates even earlier. They were established as VB-18 in January 1945, redesignated as VA-7A in November 1946, redesignated as VA-74 in July 1948, then finally named VA-75 on 15 Feb 1950. This is the light blue version of their 50th anniversary patch made just a few years before being decommissioned.
