      USN VFA-14 Tophatters, NH200, NAS Lemoore, CA, Squadron 90th Anniversary March 2009


      VFA-14 "Topphatters" call themselves the oldest and boldest and with good reason, they formed in 1919 making them the oldest active USN squadron. The squadron began aircraft-carrier service aboard the USS Langley. The original squadron name was adopted in 1927, the "High-Hatters" which was relevant for the day and supposed to mean the very best, elite. In 1942 the name was changed to "Tophatters". In 2001 the squadron became VFA-14 instead of VF-14 and are based at NAS Lemoore, California. This scheme represents the 90th Anniversary of the squadron.
