Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 101 had it's deactivation ceremony last week. It was a historical moment in Navy history. We will miss sharing the flightline with the Grim Reapers but we will always share the sky.

Consolidation of F-35C resources to Naval Air Station Lemoore, California, enables the U.S. Navy to support Fleet Replacement Squadron (FRS) production, operational fleet transitions for both Navy and Marine Corps squadrons, Initial Operations Test & Evaluation (IOT&E) and Naval Aviation Warfare Development Command (NAWDC) requirements.
