| Flying is the second greatest thrill known to man...landing is the first!!! There's a newsletter after the F/A-18 Squadrons. NOTE--------------I do not chose what sponsers I want on my site. No matter how dumb they are, or how strange they are, I don't have much choice in the matter. No thank you maxpages! Look at www.lockheedartin.com/! Operation:Enduring freedom is taking forever. Let's kick some terrorist @$$!!! Below is the aviators slang dictionary, have fun with it! It's really dang long! Note: some of the vocabulary for the aviators slang is pretty foul, if you would rather not see stuff like that, please don't see it! If you toss these words around at school or anything and get caught with the real meaning of the word, I'm not responsible for your actions OR your punishments. If you have any questions about the dictionary, just E-mail me! A list of all of the F-14 squadrons is at the bottom of the page after the Aviators slang, nothing about the F-14 Squadrons is derogitory, or foul. A list of a few F/A-18 squadrons is below the F-14 squadrons, most VFA (Fighter/Attack) squadrons adopted the squadron names and logos from old A-7 and A-6 VA squadrons. Example- VA-125 was either an A-6 or A-7 squadron, it is now VFA-125 Rough riders. I can't get any good A-6 squadron lists, if anyone has a good list of A-6, A-7, or S-3 squadrons, send it to me.
