About the VFA-2 Bounty Hunters:
VFA-2, the Bounty Hunters, is the Carrier Air Wing 2's
air superiority and interceptor squadron. VFA-2 is based
at NAS Oceana in Virginia Beach, VA.

On 6 October, 2003, VFA-2 took delivery of its first F/A-18F.
The transition to the new aircraft took only four and a half months,
the shortest time ever for a Tomcat to Super Hornet transition.
With the Constellation being decommissioned, VFA-2 was reassigned
to the USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN (CVN-72) to deploy with CVW-2.
About the F/A-18F Super Hornet:
The multi-mission F/A-18E/F ""Super Hornet"" strike fighter is
an upgrade of the combat-proven night strike F/A-18C/D.
The Super Hornet will provide the battle group commander
with a platform that has range, endurance, and ordnance
carriage capabilities comparable to the A-6 which have been retired.

The F/A-18E/F aircraft are 4.2 feet longer than earlier Hornets,
have a 25% larger wing area, and carry 33% more internal fuel which
will effectively increase mission range by 41% and endurance by 50%.
The Super Hornet also incorporates two additional weapon stations.
This allows for increased payload flexibility by mixing and matching
air-to-air and/or air-to-ground ordnance. The aircraft can also carry
the complete complement of ""smart"" weapons, including the newest joint weapons
such as JDAM and JSOW. "
