Summary
| Description | A U.S. Navy McDonnell Douglas F/A-18A Hornet of Strike Fighter Squadron VFA-161 "Chargers" launches an AIM-7 Sparrow missile. VFA-161 was assigned to the short-lived Carrier Air Wing 10 (CVW-10, tail code "NM"). It was established in November 1986 and should have been assigned to the USS Independence (CV-62). However, it was only once deployed on the USS Enterprise (CVN-65) for a short tour along the U.S. Pacific coast and was disestablished again with all squadrons in November 1988. |
