Size: 4"In Stock: >5 The "Black Aces" of VF-41 now operate the F/A-18F out of NAS Lemoore, CA. Callsign "Fast Eagle", they were established in September 1950 and transitioned from the F-4Ns in April 1976 to their current platform. In August 1981, the Black Aces downed 2 Su-22 "Fitter" fighters after being attacked during an exercise. They participated in several exercises and flew from the decks of several carriers. They also shifted to the USS Lincoln (CVN-72) for 'cleanup' operations at the end of Desert Storm. This is the desert version of their squadron patch. Show more
