On August 7, 1943, VMF-214 was formed with Greg “Pappy” Boyington and twenty seven men at Espiritu Santo in the Western Pacific. In 1957 the squadron was re-designated as VMA-214 “Black Sheep”. In 1962 VMA-214 began to fly the A-4 Skyhawk until 1989 when they received the AV-8B Harrier. VMA-214 was the first A-4 squadron to fly 30,000 accident free hours as well as six years accident free flying. The Douglas A-4M Skyhawk II Bu. 160030 went to AMARC in December 1990.

The Douglas A-4 Skyhawk was a carrier capable light-attack bomber designed for the US Navy and Marine Corp. First flown in June 1954, the A-4s combat career began with carrier-launched raids over North Vietnam in 1964. The Navy began removing A-4's from its front-line squadrons in 1967, with the last one retired in 1975. The Marine Corps retired the Skyhawk in June 1994.
