U.S. Navy VFA-122 “Flying Eagles” Squadron was originally formed in 1950 as VC-35 and later became VF-122 which was disbanded in 1991. In January 1999 VFA-125 (legacy F/A-18 Hornet FRS “Fleet Replacement Squadron”) was disbanded and staff and airplanes were absorbed by VFA-122. VFA-122 became the West Coast Hornet and Super Hornet squadron to train USN and USMC replacement pilots and WSOs. Beginning in 2022 the USN training aircraft would make static and Legacy Flight appearances at air shows.

The McDonnell Douglas Boeing F/A-18E Super Hornet is a twin-engine multi-role carrier-based aircraft. The “E” variant is single-seater while the “F” variant is a tandem-seat configuration. The E is a much larger, more advanced and more capable variant of the F/A-18C. The Super Hornet variant can carry a larger array of weapons as well as more of them and is capable of returning to the carrier while still carrying unspent munitions. The first flight of the F/A-18E took place in 1995 with delivery to the U.S. Navy starting in 1999.
