Features Technical Specs Learn More   1/72 Scale Length 9.25" Width 5.75" On March 9th, 1959, VF-24 traded air wings and designations and became VF-211 Checkmates. In July 1959, the squadron got F-8s. In this era, the squadron patch as the F-8 community knew it (above) was designed. The first F-8 deployment was on the USS LEXINGTON. In 1961 the squadron moved to from Moffett to NAS Miramar which would be the Checkmates home for 35 years. The squadron deployed on the USS HANCOCK (CVA-19) and Air Wing 21 in 1964 and began seeing extensive action in the Vietnam War. VF-211 made seven deployments during the Vietnam War, and VF-211 had eight confirmed kills in the F-8, which earned them the reputation as "The MiG Killers". However, the Crusader's days were numbered and on the 23rd of December 1975, VF-211 made it's maiden flight in the F-14A Tomcat. On Oct 1, 2004, the squadron was redesignated VFA-211 and started the transition to the F/A-18F Hornet. Features Launch Configuration w/ flaps down.
