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. They currently are with CVW-8 and have transitioned to the F\/A-18F Hornet out of NAS Lemoore, CA. This patch does not have velcro attached.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AV8RSTUFF","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44122275938538,"sku":"","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0669\/4571\/2362\/files\/vfa41diamond.jpg?v=1691293092","url":"https:\/\/av8rstuff.myshopify.com\/products\/vfa-41-coffin-white-red-border","provider":"AV8RSTUFF","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
