The VF-102 “Diamondbacks” are located at NAS Oceana, VA and fly the F-14A Tomcat. They were established in July 1955, and transitioned from the F-4J Phantom to the F-14A Tomcat in July 1981. This is their Operation Enduring Freedom patch, and will also be their last Tomcat cruise, as they are transitioning to the F/A-18 Hornet when they return.
