Tail code NE.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStrike Fighter Squadron 2 (VFA-2), the \"Bounty Hunters,\" is a U.S. Navy F\/A-18F Super Hornet strike fighter squadron based at Naval Air Station Lemoore, California, assigned to Carrier Air Wing 2 (CVW-2) and deployed aboard USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70). The squadron's tail code is NE and the call sign is \"Bullet.\" Originally established as VF-2 on October 14, 1972 flying the F-14A Tomcat, the squadron's first deployment was in 1974 aboard USS Enterprise — including support for Operation Frequent Wind, the April 1975 evacuation of American personnel from Saigon. During Operation Desert Shield\/Storm in 1990, flying F-14s aboard USS Ranger, the Bounty Hunters logged over 550 combat missions and 1,900 combat hours — more than any other tactical squadron in the war — and served as the first Tactical Air Reconnaissance Pod System (TARPS) unit for CVW-2. After more than 30 years on the F-14 Tomcat, VF-2 was redesignated VFA-2 on July 1, 2003 and transitioned to the F\/A-18F Super Hornet. This officially licensed vinyl sticker puts the Bounty Hunters colors on any flat surface that needs them — laptop, cooler, helmet bag, truck window, ready-room wall, range Yeti.
