UNITED STATES NAVY
Capt. Bud Bishop / CAG
Strike Fighter Squadron 103 / VFA-103 “Jolly Rogers”
USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN-69), 2007
VF-103 took over the “Jolly
Roger” after the disestablishment of VF-84. After a last deployment on USS
John F. Kennedy with Carrier Air Wing Seventeen and returning to NAS Oceana in
December 2004, VF-103 gave up their F-14B “Tomcats” and began transitioning
to the F/A-18F “Super Hornet” deploying aboard USS Dwight D. Eisenhower in
2006. The first unit to bring their F/A-18E/F “Super Hornets” to combat was
VFA-115. On November 6, 2002, two F/A-18Es conducted a "Response
Option" strike in support of Operation “Southern Watch” on two
surface-to-air missile launchers at Al Kut and an Air Defense Command and
Control bunker at Tallil AB. In support of Operation “Iraqi Freedom”,
VFA-14, VFA-41 and VFA-115 flew CAS, strike, escort SEAD and aerial refueling.
On September 8, 2006, VFA-211 F/A-18F “Super Hornet” expended GBU-12 and
GBU-38 bombs against Taliban fighters and Taliban fortifications west and
northwest of Kandahar. This was the first time the unit was in combat with the
“Super Hornet”.
