Known as the “Hunters”, VF-201 was one of two Naval Reserve squadrons assigned to the Atlantic Fleet to fly the F-14 Tomcat as part of Reserve Carrier Air Wing Twenty (CVWR-20). It was originally commissioned at NAS Dallas, TX, on July 25, 1970, and initially flew the F-8H Crusader. From 1976 until 1987, it operated F-4 Phantoms, then it transitioned to the F-14A Tomcat.
Throughout the years it flew Tomcats, VF-201 participated in exercises from NAS Fallon, NV, to NAS Key West, FL. It also conducted several short carrier at-sea periods with detachments of aircraft.
In 1997, VF-201 moved to NAS Fort Worth, TX. There, they continued to fly the Tomcat for two more years. In 1999, the Hunters transitioned to the F/A-18A Hornet and were redesignated VFA-201. (“Colors & Markings of the F-14 Tomcat, Part 1”, Kinzey and Roszak)
