VF-126 "Bandits" operated with the first badge (26 aircraft) of US Navy F-16s, the aircraft were modified (lighter - other radar and gun removed - and strenghtened, and all provisions for external loads were removed) from F-16A-standard and were designated F-16N. The Navalised version was mainly used for dissimilar air combat training (DACT) mission and acted as adversary aircraft. This 163275 received FMS serial 86-1376 and was retired in June 1994 to AMARC with inventory code AN1F00001 (that became later AAFG0428). It was scrapped by mid-February 2013.

This Intruder crashed on take off from NAS Oceana due to engine fire, just off Virginia Beach, on 7 November 1990. It visited Leeuwarden in 1983 together with A-7E 159659/AG-310 and F-14A 161430/AG-103 for the 35th anniversary of 323 Sqn.

F-16N on the VF-126 line. Another Navy Viper that has since been scrapped.

This 1978 Puma is used by Erickson Evergreen Helicopters but leased to the US Navy Military Sealift Command under a three plus two year contract of Geo-Seis Helicopters. Geo-Seis operated 2 SA330Js (see my other picture of N405R), aboard three MSC combat stores ships on a rotating basis beginning in Jan'05. The commercial helos deployed aboard the ships all over the world and operate often from shore bases for vertical replenishment missions. Strikingly, this N330JF is only painted as N330J.

An A-4F of Strike Fighter Squadron 127 "Cyclones" prepared for a new mission over the Fallon ranges. This airframe once served the Blue Angels as number 4, and arrived with VFA-127 early 1989. Already before VFA-127 was disestablished on 23 March 1996, the A-4 was transferred to the Naval Fighter Weapons School (NFWS) at Miramar and served as code 54 from '91 to '92. Then it was transferred to Fighter Squadron 43 "Challengers" at Oceana with code AD-25. From Apr'94 onwards the Skooter was stored at AMARC where it was eventually scrapped in Jan'05 'Bullet/Elk', 3A0766 AMARC arr 7apr94/07jan05
