Lovely filled flight line at Miramar, all Cats you see here belong to the local Fleet Replacement Squadron, Fighting Squadron (VF) 124 Gunfighters. This 159858 was delivered to the US Navy late August 1976. It started to fly with VX-4, but was soon transferred to VF-114 and served later VF-2, VF-124 (as pictured), VF-1, VF-24 and VF-101. It was stored at AMARC already on 23 August 1995. On 9 January 2008, it was moved to HVF West at Tucson and was scrapped.
