F/A-18F Super Hornet U.S. NAVY VFA-103 Jolly Rogers, 70th Anniversary Edition, 2013

Product Dimensions: 10.01 x 7.45 x 2.67 in.

Model History and Information: The two-seat F/A-18F Super Hornet entered fleet service in the early 2000s, combining fighter, strike and fleet-defense roles in one carrier-based airframe. VFA-103 traces the Jolly Rogers name and skull-and-crossbones insignia to VF-17, which first carried them in 1943; the marking passed through later squadrons before the unit, then designated VF-103 and redesignated VFA-103 in 2005, adopted it in 1995. In 2013, marking the insignia's 70th anniversary, the squadron redesigned its markings to echo VF-17's original patches and tail colors, carrying them through a deployment aboard USS Dwight D. Eisenhower with Carrier Air Wing Seven that ended in July 2013.
