RVAH-14

Reconnaissance Attack (Heavy) Squadron 14 (RVAH-14) was a U.S. Navy squadron established on February 14, 1968, at Naval Air Station Sanford, Florida. The squadron operated the RA-5C Vigilante, a carrier-based supersonic reconnaissance aircraft, providing vital photographic intelligence during the Cold War era. RVAH-14 conducted deployments aboard various aircraft carriers, supporting fleet operations and surveillance missions, though it did not participate in combat operations in Vietnam due to its late formation. The squadron was disestablished on May 1, 1974, as part of the Navy's post-war drawdown and the retirement of the RA-5C Vigilante.
