History
The F/A-18F Super Hornet is an evolution of the earlier Hornet design, featuring increased size, range, and payload capacity. It operates from U.S. Navy aircraft carriers in both air-to-air and air-to-ground roles.
VFA-103, known as the “Jolly Rogers,” is one of the most recognisable squadrons in U.S. naval aviation, famous for its skull and crossbones insignia. This special 75th Anniversary scheme commemorates the squadron’s long and distinguished operational history, including service aboard USS Abraham Lincoln.
