The original VF-194 took part in WWII, the Korean conflict and Vietnam, but was disestablished on the 1st of March 1978 as a F-4 Phantom squadron. VF-194 also flew Hellcats, Bearcats, Cougars, Furies and Crusaders. Reestablished on the 1st of December 1986 as part of CVW-10 attached to USS INDEPENDENCE, The Legendary Red Lightnings again flew the skies of NAS Miramar, albeit for a very short time. After accepting seven of their twelve aircraft and participating with USS ENTERPRISE for Sea Fair in Seattle, WA, an ACM detachment to George AFB, CA and a Fleet Fighter ACM Readiness Program (FFARP) detachment to NAF El Centro, CA, VF-194 was notified of its impending disestablishment just two months prior to CVW-10's planned Air Wing Strike Detachment to NAS Fallon, NV. The Legendary Red Lightnings last flight was in the Spring of 1988.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AV8RSTUFF","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43862690431210,"sku":"","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0669\/4571\/2362\/products\/vf194felix.jpg?v=1675110077","url":"https:\/\/av8rstuff.myshopify.com\/products\/vf-194-felix-patch","provider":"AV8RSTUFF","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
