Composite Squadron (VC) 12 was the Navy's first Reserve Fleet Composite Squadron. The sqn used the single seat A-4E/F and dual seat TA-4J Skyhawks and was assigned the support mission with air intercept and dissimilar air combat maneuvering (ACM) training for Atlantic and Pacific fleet units. This near black Skyhawk used JY as tailcode (not visible) in 1987 (later on the sqn was redesgnated VFC-12 and used tailcode AF). After VC-12 service this aircraft returned to Naval Training with Training Squadron (VT) 7 i the early 90s and became white/orange again. The airframe crashed on 25 Jun'92.
