Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 112 (VMFA-112) is a part of Marine Aircraft Group 41 based at NAS Fort Worth, TX.  The pilots of the ‘Cowboys’ fly the F/A-18 A++ for the United States Marine Corps, specializing in Close Air Support.  The squadron has a rich tradition dating back to WWII when they were known as the ‘Wolfpack.’  During that time they flew the Wildcat and the Corsair and were a part of the famed ‘Cactus Air Force.’  During WWII they accrued over 150 Air to Air kills.  Since then, they have transitioned to multiple different platforms.  As a USMC Reserve F/A-18 squadron, they are on call to deploy when needed to fill the gap.  Most recently they deployed to Iraq in 2009-2010 and to the Pacific Theater in 2013-2014.

Naval Air Station Fort Worth Joint Reserve Base includes Carswell Field, a military airbase located 5 nautical miles (9 km; 6 mi) west of the central business district of Fort Worth, Texas. This military airfield is operated by the United States Navy Reserve. It is located in the cities of Fort Worth, Westworth Village, and White Settlement in the western part of the Fort Worth urban area.

The McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet is a twin-engine supersonic, all-weather carrier-capable multirole combat jet, designed as both a fighter and attack aircraft (hence the F/A designation).
