US Navy Attack Fighter Squadron 101 (VF-101) Grim Reapers was established on May 1st, 1952 at NAS Cecil Field, Florida, flying the FG-1D Corsair. The squadron quickly moved into the jet era with the F2H-2 Banshee while in Korea. After progressing through the F4D-1 Skyray, F3H-2 Demon and F-4 Phantom II, the squadron began flying the F-14 Tomcat in January 1976. The Reapers went on to fly the Tomcat for almost 30 years before being disestablished in September 2005. The squadron was later reactivated in 2012 as Strike Fighter Squadron 101 (VFA-101) with the F-35C Lightning II JSF.
