VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (June 23, 2021) An FG-1D Corsair, flown by Mike Spalding, Chief Pilot Military Aviation Museum, taxis after a heritage flight with Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 103 onboard Naval Air Station Oceana. The formation flight included an F/A-18F, from VFA 103, and an FG-1D Corsair, from the Military Aviation Museum, and intended to increase the squadrons awareness of its history, unit cohesion, and morale. The FG-1D Corsair was once assigned to the “Jolly Rogers” of Fighter Squadron (VF) 17 in 1943 who shares the same call sign as VFA 103.
