Based out of NAS Lemoore, CA flying the McDonnell Douglas F/A-18C Hornet, they were established in March 1952. They participated in Desert Storm in 1991 with CVW-11 and the USS Lincoln (CVN-72), but now call the Carl Vinson (CVN-70) their home along with their sister squadrons VFA-22 and VFA-97. This is the ‘throwback ‘version of their ‘Coffin’ patch they created in a light blue scheme, and does not come with velcro attached.
