30 yrs ago, Naval Aviation was part of the Coalition forces that unleashed Operation Desert Storm...

A special section in the Summer 1991 issue of The Hook included reports from some of the squadrons that participated, including this article submitted by the VA-155 Silver Foxes on board USS Ranger (CV 61). Desert Storm marked the squadron’s first combat operations and VA-155 passed into Naval Aviation history with its disestablishment on 30 April 1993. We have added some additional photos from that momentous period in the squadron’s history.
