With the establishment of the 224th Fighter Wing in Roca Roja, Usea, The Gorgons made were transferred to their second wing assignment in as many years. Following their middling performance during the Lighthouse War, Osean Air Defense Force Chief Of Staff General Mike Dugan personally relieved the Squadron’s former commander of command and subsequently had the unit deactivated citing a ‘severe loss of confidence’ following a near forty five percent attrition rate of pilots in the opening hours of the Eruseans attack in May of 2019 on bases in Osea. The unit would only stay dormant for a year though with a reactivation and new leadership in March of 2022. Now on the heels of reactivation and transfer into active duty. The Gorgons have made the shift from the 27th Fighter Wing into the 224th as the first of two all-weather multi-role units assigned into the 225th Fighter Group.

Established in the 1960's flying the F-4E Phantom, the Privateers would make their name patrolling the turbulent skies near the Osean-Belkan border, before being stationed on the front lines alongside dozens of other squadrons staring down the rival Yuktobanian Air Force in a deadly game of brinkmanship. This deadly game would mark their first tragedy, when a civilian airliner would be misidentified by the unit, killing all aboard. With this black mark, the squadron would take years to recover until the 1995 Belkan war where they successfully defended Osea from nuclear bombers.

Following their successful campaigns during the Circum Pacific and later Lighthouse War. the 102nd Tactical Fighter Squadron "Privateers" was reassigned to the 224th Wing at Roca Roja Air Base, Usea, supporting the continuing IUN Peace Keeping Mission in the region.

Along with the 31st Tactical Fighter Squadron 'Enchanters', the Privateers make up the Air Superiority arm of the bases mission, flying the F-15C

Established in 1952, the 73rd Fighter Squadron "Gorgons" began their career as a Air Reserve Combat Squadron flying F-82F Sabres. Deploying multiple times, the Gorgons would distinguish themselves in combat, destroying multiple enemy aircraft in various conflicts.

In 1964, the Squadron would then transfer into the F-4 Phantom aircraft, ending their tenure in the Phantom by deploying to support the Osean Forces deployed during the Adama Incident a decade later.

In 1975, the squadron would transition into the F-16A as the OADF Reserves training squadron. Stationed at Milford Air Base, the Squadron would not see active service until 1995, flying various defense sorties near November City in conjunction with the Califia Air Guards 411th Fighter Squadron.

In 2019, the squadron would be deactivated following a disastrous first contact with Erusean Drones in the opening hours of the Lighthouse War.

Multiple VF-18 Squadron’s have existed in the history of the OMDF, however the Navy does not recognize a shared lineage between them.

VF-18 Pirates were established in 1967 flying the F-4J with Carrier Air Wing 12 aboard the OFS Hubert. Serving at the tail end of the Clavis Conflict, the Pirates and their sister squadron, the VF-85 "Red Arrows", would not see action until the Adama Island Rebellion, where Phantoms from the Hubert would fly in support of Quarantine measures against the Island.

In 1985, the Squadron would transition to the F-14B Tomcat. While serving on the Hubert, the Pirates would deploy to Usea and Southern Verusa, conducting Freedom of Navigation exercises against unfriendly powers in both regions.

VF-85 "Red Arrows" was established in 1967, flying the F-4J. Assigned to Carrier Air Wing 12 aboard the OFS Hubert, the squadron would serve with their sister unit, VF-18 "Pirates" during the final weeks of the Clavis Conflict, though the Huberts Air Wing would not see any action at this time.

It would not be until the Adama Island Rebellion where Red Arrows Phantoms were critical in the landing operations,  warning off repeated rebel air attacks on the Pro-Government forces landing on the island.

In 1985, the Red Arrows along with the Pirates were slated to transition into the F-14B, however midway through the training the Osean Maritime Defense Force deactivated the unit, with aircrews and aircraft assigned to pre-existing F-14 Squadrons.

On September 11, 1972 VMFA-333, the Fighting Shamrocks aboard USS America launched a MigCAP which was to patrol over the Haiphong area.   A/C 201 and A/C 206 engaged Mig-21’s and shot down one confirmed and claimed one probable.  While egressing the area short of fuel, both Phantoms were damaged by AAA and SAM fire.   They were able to reach the coast before the crews ejected and were recovered by SAR.

This was the only confirmed All-Marine MiG kill during the Vietnam War.

F-4J Phantom II of VX-4.   Another aircraft in a long history of "Vandy's"

Update; Adjusted roughmet added.

VF-33 was originally known as the Tarsiers, then the Astronauts for a short time, then Tarsiers again, and the squadron ended its life as the Starfighters. They flew a diverse range of aircraft, from the F4U Corsair to the F-14A Tomcat. The squadron was disestablished in 1993
Prior to the F-14 and during the Vietnam War, their aircraft was the F-4 Phantom, and their 1972 scheme is probably my favorite ever applied to the F-4.
