VMFA115

Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 115 (VMFA-115), known as the "Silver Eagles," was originally commissioned as VMF-115 in July 1943 during World War II, flying the F4U Corsair in the Pacific Theater. The squadron saw significant action in campaigns such as the Battle of Okinawa and later participated in the occupation of China. During the Korean War, VMFA-115 provided close air support and interdiction missions, and in the Vietnam War, the unit operated out of Da Nang, flying the F-4 Phantom II in combat operations. Today, VMFA-115 is based at Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, South Carolina, and flies the F/A-18 Hornet, continuing its legacy of excellence in support of Marine Corps operations worldwide.
