The Wolfpack of FITRON ONE came in with the F-14 and went out with the USS Ranger 21 years later. VF 1 and VF 2 were the Navy’s first operational F-14 Tomcat squadrons. Based at NAS Miramar, they also saw the combat debut of the Tomcat during OPERATION FREQUENT WIND at the close of the Vietnam conflict.
In the early 1990’s, the Wolfpack’s Tomcats were embarked in Ranger on station in the western Pacific when OPERATION DESERT STORM began and the squadron flew combat sorties. During that cruise, BuNo 162597 carried the side number NE100 and was the CAG jet with a special multicolored wolf-tail.
She is depicted in a outer air battle/fleet defense configuration with 4 x AIM-54C Phoenix long range active radar missiles and 2 x AIM-9M short range IR missiles. She additionally carries the ubiquitous external fuel tanks under her intakes as well as a full load of 20 mm ammunition and chaff/flare expendables.
