VF-154

VF-154, known as the "Black Knights," is a distinguished U.S. Navy fighter squadron originally established in 1946. The squadron saw extensive combat during the Korean War, flying F4U Corsairs, and later participated in the Vietnam War with F-8 Crusaders and F-4 Phantoms. In the 1980s and 1990s, VF-154 transitioned to the F-14 Tomcat, deploying on multiple occasions to the Persian Gulf and supporting operations such as Southern Watch and Iraqi Freedom. In 2003, the unit was redesignated as VFA-154 and transitioned to the F/A-18F Super Hornet, continuing its legacy as an elite strike fighter squadron in the U.S. Navy.
