Photo Comment

This beauty was once delivered to VC-7 at NAS Miramar and stored in the late seventies at AMARC with inventory code 3A527. The aircraft returned to service via Naval Air Rework Facility (NARF) Pensacola (FL) and assigned to Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 127 "Cyclones" at NAS Fallon where it started to fly in this striking colour scheme with code/modex NJ-702. After VFA-127 was disestablished (March 1996) the aircraft moved to NAS Miramar again to operated with Fighter squadron (VF) 126 "Bandits" as NJ-600, NJ-623 VF-126 before it went to AMARC (again) as inventory code 3A0748 in March 1994.
