The “Gladiators” of VFA-106 were established in April 1984 as the East Coast RAG for the F/A-18 Hornet. They operate the A/B/C/D models of this aircraft and fly from NAS Cecil Field, FL. They are located at NAS Oceana, VA. They also fly the T-34C Mentor as range-clearance aircraft. This is the desert version of their coffin patch and does not come with velcro attached.
