Plane type: USN F-14 Tomcat 

VF-142's history can be traced back to 1948, when it was created as VF-193. Before switching to the F-14 the squadron was flying the F-4J Phantom II, however in 1974 the squadron's 'Rhino' days came to an end, as the transition process to the then brand new F-14A began. While transitioning from one plane to another the squadron transitioned from one base to another, moving from the Pacific fleet's Miramar base to become part of the Atlantic fleet, based at Oceana. Once the transition was complete the squadron's first cruise began in April 1976, taking place onboard the USS America (CV-66). After this initial cruise the squadron shifted air wings, becoming part of CVW-7 onboard USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN-69). VF-142 has the unique distinction of being the first F-14 Tomcat squadron to win the Battle 'E', during the late 1970's.
