from the web...The first VF-142 was dubbed the 'Fighting Falcons'. It was an active US Navy squadron from 1953 to 1962 flying the Cougar and the F-8 Crusader.
Before becoming the active squadron VF-142, the Fighting Falcons had been a reserve squadron
designated VF-791. After VF-142 was given to the Ghostriders, who used to be VF-193, the Fighting Falcons became VF-96, which was subsequently disestablished in June 1962.
