Skuttlebutt has it that the Squadron "went Hollywood" when it was "STRONGLY" suggested to the Squadron to take on the "Skull & Bones" in 1995 when VF-84 was dis-established, so a "lowly" Attack Squadron would not get it.
And so, a 43 year tradition of "Slugger" excellence
was summarily tossed and VF-103 has since transitioned to the FA-18 aircraft and become
VFA-103.
The pages that appear
within chronicle the proud history of one of the finest Naval Fighter Squadrons ,
whose heritage was sold out for the "Skull & Bones".........
All former Sluggers are encouraged to contribute photos or memories.
