Description: Strike Fighter Squadron 213 (VF-213), also known as the Fighting Blacklions, is a renowned U.S.N. fighter squadron. Established in 1955, the squadron operated a variety of aircraft over its history, beginning with the F2H Banshee. Subsequent aircraft included the F-4 Phantom II and the F-14 Tomcat, which they flew until their transition over to the F/A-18F Super Hornet before being re-designated Strike Fighter Squadron VFA-213. This fictionalized version of the VF-213 is prominently featured in a 1986 movie Top Gun, and uses the insignia design of VFA-25, a squadron which never flew the F-14 in real life.
