VF-194
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
VF-194 Red Lightnings was one of the most short-lived F-14 squadrons in the US Navy.
[edit] History
VF-194 and sister squadron VF-191 were the two shortest-lived F-14 squadrons in US Navy history. The original VF-194 took part in World War II, the Korean War, and Vietnam War, but was disbanded on March 1, 1978. Thus while VF-194, established on December 1, 1986, can claim the unit's name and markings, it did not have the heritage of the original VF-194. After training with VF-124 and being due to deploy onboard the USS Independence (CV-62) with the F-14A Tomcat as part of CVW-10 (Carrier Air Wing Ten), VF-194 was disbanded on April 30, 1988, before the cruise could take place.
