VFA-122 "Flying Eagles" NAS Lemoore, California is a Fleet Replacement Squadron tasked with training new pilots, pilots changing to a different type of aircraft or a pilot that needs refreshing having being away from flying for an extended period of time. VFA-122 also travels to some air shows to encourage recruitment. One such air show was held at RAF Fairford, England in 2006 and F/A-18F Super Hornet 166673 was there performing as part of the USN Tactical Demonstration Team and has since been sent to the VX-9 "Vampires". Designed as a replacement for the A-4 Skyhawk and the A-7 Corsair II and as a complement to the F-14 Tomcat, the F/A-18 first flew on November 18, 1978. Perhaps best known as the aircraft of the US Navy's Blue Angels, this carrier-capable, supersonic, all-weather fighter has many roles, including fighter escort, fleet air defense and close air support. The F/A-18 is a versatile aircraft: it can operate from carriers or land bases and a single switch converts it from fighter to strike mode. During Operation Desert Storm, the F/A-18 proved that, on a single mission, one aircraft could serve as both fighter and a bomber. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
