The ‘Starfighters’ of VF-33 flew the F-14A Tomcat before being decommissioned. Established in October 1948, they were originally known as the ‘Tarsiers’ until the mid-80s. They transitioned from the F-4 Phantom to the F-14 Tomcat in 1981. They flew in operations against Libya, and Desert Storm onboard the USS America with CVW-1. This was their “STARWARS” felix, created after the original movie came out in the late ’70s.
