Hobby Master 1/72 Air Power Series (Jet Powered) HA1406 - McDonnell Douglas A- 4E Skyhawk VF-126 "Top Gun" Adversary 15-21059 |
VA-126 was established in 1958 to provide fleet instrument training. Over the years they
became VF-126 and provided aggressor training. In 1967 the A-4E was being replaced in
the fleet and they became the perfect choice to simulate the Mig-17 because of the small
size, maneuverability and smokeless trail.
Originally the Naval Fighter Weapons School (Top Gun) was established in 1969 as part
of VF-121. It quickly expanded to become the fleet school. VF-126 kept playing the bandit
role until their disestablishment in 1994.
