One of the Navy’s most storied strike fighter squadrons, the Black Aces of VFA-41 fly the F/A-18F Super Hornet from NAS Lemoore and have earned their place in carrier aviation history through decades of excellence in both the fighter and strike roles. Based with the Pacific Fleet and deploying aboard West Coast carriers, the Black Aces have conducted strikes in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya and built a reputation for professionalism and lethality that spans generations of aviators.
