VA-128

Attack Squadron 128 (VA-128), known as the "Golden Intruders," was a United States Navy attack squadron established on September 1, 1967. Its primary mission was to serve as a Fleet Replacement Squadron, training aircrews and maintenance personnel to operate the A-6 Intruder all-weather attack aircraft. Based at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, Washington, VA-128 played a crucial role in preparing Navy personnel for combat and fleet assignments during the Vietnam War and the Cold War. The squadron was disestablished on September 30, 1995, following the retirement of the A-6 Intruder from active service.
