VFA-106 began operating on 27 April 1984 as the East Coast FRS (“RAG”) for the F/A-18A/B/C/D models at NAS Cecil Field, FL. They are now located at the Master Jet Base at NAS Oceana, VA where they train Navy, Marine, and foreign exchange pilots. This is the class coffin patch for Class 07-06. The patch shows an F’18 hornet in a vertical climb and says “RHINO GLADIATORS” across the middle. This patch does not come with velcro attached.
