The McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet is a twin-engine, supersonic, all-weather, carrier-capable, multirole combat jet, designed as both a fighter and attack aircraft (hence the F/A designation). Designed by McDonnell Douglas (now part of Boeing) and Northrop (now part of Northrop Grumman), the F/A-18 was designed to be a highly versatile aircraft due to its avionics, cockpit displays, and excellent aerodynamic characteristics, with the ability to carry a wide variety of weapons. The aircraft can perform fighter escort, fleet air defense, suppression of enemy air defenses, air interdiction, close air support, and aerial reconnaissance. Primary Role: Multirole Fighter.

VMFA-112 “Wolfpack” was established on March 1, 1942. In 1960 they received the FJ-3 “Fury” and in 1965 they transitioned to the F-8 Crusader. In July 1967 VMFA(AW)-112 changed their name and logo from “Wolfpack” to “Cowboys” to reflect the local NFL team, “Dallas Cowboys”. In early 1976 the squadron began to receive the F-4 Phantom II and became VMFA-112. In 1992 VMFA-112 was the last unit to fly the F-4, excluding “Wild Weasel”, units and began to receive the new F/A-18. F/A-18C 163702 c/n 761/C064 was built in 1988.
