VA-122

Attack Squadron 122 (VA-122), known as the "Fighting Redhawks," was a United States Navy attack squadron established on 1 May 1950. Originally designated as VC-35, it was redesignated as VA-122 in April 1958 and served primarily as a fleet replacement training unit for the A-1 Skyraider and later the A-7 Corsair II attack aircraft. VA-122 played a crucial role in training thousands of pilots and maintenance personnel during the Vietnam War era and beyond. The squadron was disestablished on 29 May 1991 after over four decades of service.
