Marine Attack Squadron (All Weather) 533 'Hawks' operated the A-6 Intruder since 1965. Soon after the transition to the Intruder the squadron was deployed to Vietnam to support combat operations. In 1975 they returned to Continental US where they were based at MCAS Cherry Point (NC). In 1976, the A-6A was replaced by the more modern A-6E. With that aircraft the Hawks deployed for another combat tour, this time to the Gulf War in 1990. In 1992 the A-6E was replaced by the F/A-18D.

Fighter Squadron (VF) 202 "Superheats" was a Tomcat squadron under the command of the US Naval Reserve and Carrier Air Wing Reserve TWENTY. It was based at NAS Dallas (TX). VF-202 was disestablished on 31 December 1994. Only months before this picture was taken, the squadron transitioned from F-4S to F-14A. Some Tomcats were delivered directly from the Grumman production line, others arrived from operational squadrons, creating a mix of aircraft in full colours and toned-down schemes.
