F-14 Tomcat Top Gun Lithograph Personalize – VF-84 art by Squadron Posters!
VF-84, Fighter Squadron 84 was an aviation unit of the United States Navy. Originally established as VA-86 on 1 July 1955, it was immediately redesignated as VF-84 and was disestablished on 1 October 1995. It was the third US Navy squadron to be designated as VF-84. The squadron was nicknamed the Jolly Rogers and was based at NAS Oceana. It took the number but not the lineage of VF-84 the “Wolf Gang” and the insignia of VF-61 the Jolly Rogers.
In 1964, VF-84 transitioned to the F-4 Phantom II and flew the F-4B, F-4J and the F-4N until they transitioned to the F-14 Tomcat in early 1976. In 1965, the squadron deployed for 7 months on board Independence in the Gulf of Tonkin and flew 1507 combat sorties, logging 2200 flight hours over both North Vietnam and South Vietnam. After its transition to the F-14 was completed, the squadron embarked on its first cruise on Nimitz in December 1977. In 1979, the unit was the first TARPS capable squadron of the fleet. That same year, it participated in the production of the motion picture The Final Countdown, which was released in 1980. The movie propelled the skull-and-crossbones-adorned F-14s to international stardom and notably featured a memorable scene involving two VF-84 Tomcats engaging two Japanese A6M Zeros.
