Covering 5 total jets from the Navy's Hornet Fleet Reserve Training Squadron (FRS) VFA-125 at NAS Lemoore is the subject of one of Fightertown Decal's latest releases. A mix of F/A-18A, B and C jets, these are some of the more colorful and unique Hornets flying at Lemoore. While VFA-125 provides training for all West Coast Hornet pilots, they have often painted up some of their jets to represent adversaries that are especially effective in the strike and air-to-air portions of training. This sheet includes several of these adversaries.
