Hi everyone,

to make this aircraft:


Source: Seaforces.org

VFA-127 Desert Bogeys was a Navy aggressor squadron which operated the F/A-18A from 1992 to 1996 after which they transitioned to the F-5.
They were stationed at NAS Fallon where they provided adversary training for Pacific coast squadrons.

A quick look inside the box:
