This week’s Throwback Thursday feature by Andrew McLaughlin comes from the October 2007 magazine edition of Australian Aviation, and looked at VFA-122, the US Navy squadron which trained the initial cadre of RAAF Super Hornet aircrews.

The US Navy’s main west coast base at Naval Air Station (NAS) Lemoore in California is home to up to 400 F/A-18C/D and E/F Hornets, including VFA-122, the USN unit that will be responsible for training the RAAF’s initial cadre of F/A‑18F Super Hornet pilots, air combat officers (ACOs) and engineers from mid 2009.
