Strike Fighter Squadron 105 (VFA-105), known as the "Gunslingers," was established on November 1, 1967, originally as Attack Squadron 105 (VA-105). The squadron initially flew the A-7 Corsair II and participated in combat operations during the Vietnam War. Over the years, VFA-105 transitioned to the F/A-18 Hornet and later the F/A-18E Super Hornet, adapting to modern strike fighter roles. The Gunslingers have deployed aboard various aircraft carriers, supporting operations such as Operation Desert Storm, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Operation Enduring Freedom.
