The first of the two squadrons flying F/A-18C Hornets and assigned to CVW-8 was the VFA-15 Valions. While wearing the badly worn out tactical paint scheme – consisting of medium ghost gray on top surfaces and light ghost gray on sides and undersurfaces – this ‘Rhino’, AerNo. 164629, Modex AJ301 – is shown with typical insignia of the squadron at the time. A selection of the PGMs typically deployed by this unit in over 1,100 combat sorties it flew is also shown: (from left to right) GBU-12, GBU-16 and GBU-10, while shown on the outboard underwing pylon is an AGM-62 Walleye II electro-optically guided bomb.
