VA-25 “Fist of the Fleet” began training on the new F-18A Hornet in May 1983 and in July that year they were re-designated Strike Fighter Force 25 (VFA-25). Beginning in 1992 VFA-25 transitioned to the new F-18C variant and eventually in 2012 they started flying the F-18E Super Hornet. In 1998 VFA-25 deployed onboard the USS Abraham Lincoln for the first time. In 2003 VFA-25 sailed to the Arabian Gulf to enforce the no-fly zone in Iraq. F/A-18C 164633 was delivered to VFA-25 in October 1991 and served as the CAG aircraft.
