The VAQ-34 “Flashbacks” fly out of NAS LeMoore, CA in the F/A-18 Hornet. They were established in March 1983 as the “Electric Horsemen”. They have since moved to NAS Point Mugu, CA and now fly the Hornet after spending many years flying the EA-7L Corsair. They train as aggressors against radar operators, and originally offered the only “high-performance” billets to women because their mission was not considered “combat”. They are joined by VAQ-33 and VAQ-35 as part of FEWSG. This is the current version of their squadron patch.
