VF-84 “Jolly Rogers” is a legendary unit within the annals of US Naval Aviation History. Established in 1943 during the Second War, the squadron would cut their teeth flying the F4U ‘Corsair’ onboard the USS Bunker Hill, ending the war with 47 victories against Japanese fighters, and hundreds more against Imperial Japanese targets during the war.
During the interwar period and into Korea, the squadron would evolve with the rest of the US Navy, flying the F6F Hellcat and entering the Jet-age with the F9F Panther. During much of the Vietnam war the squadron would once again operate the F-4, in this case the Supersonic Phantom, and in 1975 would receive the jet the squadron would most-be-associated with, the F-14 Tomcat.
The Jolly Rogers would serve aboard the USS Nimitz, and was seen in film on the set of “The Final Countdown” (1980). Well known for their Pirate motif, the squadron’s legacy would carry on well past its retirement with VF-103, who now operate the F/A-18F Super Hornet.
