The 'Sluggers' were with the USS Saratoga in CVW-17 for the majority of her time, before switching to the USS Enterprise. VF-103 adopted the \"Skull and Crossbones\" of VF-84 to continue their tradition. VF-103 had one of their TARPS-birds shot down by an optical SA-2 derivative in Desert Storm with the pilot being rescued and the RIO becoming a POW. This is the current version of their squadron \"backpatch\" and does not have velcro attached.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AV8RSTUFF","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43852218335466,"sku":"","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0669\/4571\/2362\/products\/vf103backwhtbrdr.jpg?v=1674495264","url":"https:\/\/av8rstuff.myshopify.com\/products\/vf-103-backpatch-large-white-border","provider":"AV8RSTUFF","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
