Officially Licensed US Navy VFA-86 Sidewinders Sticker — Striking from NAS Lemoore
The Sidewinders of VFA-86 have been delivering ordnance on target since the Hornet era — and the Lightning II is next.
Strike Fighter Squadron 86 (VFA-86), the Sidewinders, is a U.S. Navy strike fighter squadron based at NAS Lemoore, California. Having operated the F/A-18C Hornet and transitioning through the Super Hornet community, VFA-86 has maintained a reputation for tactical excellence in the strike fighter mission. The Sidewinders have deployed multiple times aboard aircraft carriers, conducting air-to-air and air-to-ground combat operations. Named after the AIM-9 Sidewinder heat-seeking missile, the squadron's identity reflects their lethal precision in every engagement. The F-35C Lightning II represents the next chapter in the Sidewinders' evolution.
