About VFA-41 "Black Aces":
The VFA-41 Black Aces is a U.S. Navy fighter squadron based at NAS Lemoore.
While on deployment in the Mediterranean Sea on August 19, 1981, during a routine combat air patrol mission over the Gulf of Sidra, two Libyan Su-22 'Fitter' aircraft were shot down by Black Aces aircraft. The incident marked the first Navy air combat confrontation since the Vietnam War and the first ever for the F-14A Tomcat.
In 2002, the Black Aces transitioned over to the F/A-18F Super Hornet, and took the designation VFA-41.

About the F-14A:
The F-14A Tomcat is certainly one of the most well known strike fighters of the US Navy. Equipped with highly advanced twin engines and variable sweep wings, the F-14A can fly at Mach 2.0. Armed with a variety of air-to-air missiles, laser guided bombs and special targeting systems, this aircraft becomes one of the deadliest strikers in the air.
