VF-103


The VF-103 Sluggers unit was established on May 1, 1952. It was armed with a long line of aircraft ranging from F4U Corsair to F9F Cougar, F-8A/E Crusader, F-4J Phantom II and F-14A/B Tomcat.


In the midst of the Vietnam War, VF-103 pilot LCDR Robert "Gene" Tucker and his WSO LT(jg) Stanley "Bruce" Edens, in F-4J, shot down a Vietnamese AIM-7E Sparrow Mig-21 on August 10, 1972. At the time, VF-103 was stationed on the aircraft carrier USS Saratoga.
After rearmament to the F-14A, the unit was instrumental in finding and apprehending the hijackers of the cruise ship Achille Lauro in the 1980s.
In 1991, as part of Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm, VF-103 suffered its only combat loss. During a reconnaissance mission with a TARPS container, F-14A was shot down by Iraqi air defenses. During Operation Desert Storm, the Sluggers flew more combat missions than any other USN unit.
In early 1995, VF-103 was the first operational unit to be equipped with the LANTIRN targeting container, and its XO CDR Alex Hanarakis conducted many test and demonstration flights with it.
Following the cancellation of the VF-84 Jolly Rogers in 1995, the VF-103 was renamed the Jolly Rogers and its F-14B repainted (gaining the same camouflage as the original VF-84). VF-103 made her maiden voyage in her new coat in 1996 as part of CVW-17, operating from aboard USS Enterprise.


After that, VF-103 participated in several peacekeeping operations, including securing the no-fly zone over Iraq (Operation Southern Watch) and the former Yugoslavia.
The unit successively operated from aircraft carriers USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, again from USS Enterprise, and most recently from USS George Washington.


After September 11, 2001, VF-103, still equipped with F-14B, participated in Operation Enduring Freedom. Since June 20, 2002, it has carried out attacks on groups of Taliban fighters and supported Special Forces personnel operating in Afghanistan.


Before the end of 2004, the unit began its rearmament from the outdated F-14B to the new F/A-18F, and in February 2005 the unit was re-designated from VF-103 to VFA-103.
