upyr1 Posted June 24, 2022 Posted June 24, 2022 The USAF aggressor squadron has been around since 1975 so they should show up in historical mode 1
_Hoss Posted June 24, 2022 Posted June 24, 2022 For the Navy in 70's it would of been VA-127 Cylons at NAS Lemoore, they flew F-5s and A-4s, they were in what is now VFA-113s hanger. They eventually went to NAS Fallon in early 80's. they became VFA-127 in March 87. Now they call them the Desert Bogies...... Battlestar Galactica was a thing back then. And VA-122 was an A-7 Training Squadron across the street back then. That was back in Oct. 79 my first time on base to go to AN/ALQ-126A school and the AN/USM-406 DECM sweepcart................. I came back in July 82 till 93 in three different commands. When I say it's in the boonies.. it's in the boonies... https://seaforces.org/usnair/VFA/Strike-Fighter-Squadron-127.htm Cheers 1 Sempre Fortis

I believe that is where the F-16's nickname viper came from. It would be awesome to have a 1975 Red Flag campaign for the F_$ and F-5
