Boeing F/A-18F Super Hornet, tail code AG200, was the commander's jet of Strike Fighter Squadron 103 (VFA-103), the Jolly Rogers, shown as it flew in 2023 with Carrier Air Wing Seven. The squadron left Norfolk in August 2022 and returned in April 2023, spending the whole deployment in the U.S. Naval Forces Europe and Africa area, taking part in multinational exercises and operations meant to strengthen NATO and deter aggression. VFA-103 flies from Naval Air Station Oceana and carries the skull and crossbones passed on by VF-84 when that squadron was disestablished in 1995. 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 2003-2026 The Flying Mule, Inc.
