Talk:VFA-11

Red Ripper Insignia
The boar's head used by the Rippers dates back to the ealiest days andis quite well known as it is similiar to the Gordon's Gin bottle and their reputation as "two-fisted, hard-drinking, bologna slinging" aviators (or something like that). Recommend inclusion of origin and tradition of their enduring symbol and the blue and red graphic design used on squadron markings. HJ 19:45, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Just for the purposes of clarity, the Ripper Toast is as follows. "The most Electrifying Fighter Squadron in the world!!!!!! The Red Ripper's of VF-11..... Here's to us.... The Red Rippers.... A damn bunch of Gin drinkin... Bologna slingin... Two balled he man bastards!!! Hooo Yaaa!!!!

Wrong Picture Again
The Hellcat photo is mislabled. It's the same shot of VF-17 aircraft aboard USS Hornet (CV-12) in 1945 that appears in the VF-11/111 Sundowners entry. I may insert a text entry trying to clarify the US Navy's lasting inability to keep unit designations straight, despite the ongoing efforts of the good folks at the Naval History Center.
