Since there were no fleet replacement squadrons at this time, VA-146 started with only a handful of aircraft and began an \"in-house\" training regime in various models of the F9F Cougar. Their first deployment was aboard USSÊHornetÊ (CV-12) in 1957. In September 1957, the squadron transitioned to the FJ-4B Fury, deploying twice aboard USSÊRangerÊ (CVA-61) prior to 1960. You can find more of their lineage online......this is their 'F\/A-18C' HORNET version of their squadron patch (note it is a bit \"darker\" blue than their F-35C squadron patch above) and DOES have velcro attached.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AV8RSTUFF","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44148918354154,"sku":"","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0669\/4571\/2362\/files\/vfa146sq-medblue-ylwchevron.jpg?v=1693507756","url":"https:\/\/av8rstuff.myshopify.com\/products\/vfa-146-f-a-18e-squadron-patch-med-blue-v","provider":"AV8RSTUFF","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
