Gulf war 1990-1991 pilots' aircraft assignments for VMFA-314

[Tdinaz]

Good day all,

I know that this post does not relate to WWII but does relate to USA military aircraft and modeling. I am currently building a F/A-18A model in which I want to apply decals for VMFA-314 when they were in the Gulf War 1990-1991.

Does anyone know where I can find a list of the pilots and their assigned aircraft for that event. I have the aircraft bureau numbers and squadron assigned aircraft numbers for all the aircraft but do not know which pilot was assigned to which aircraft. I do have our CO LCOL Stuart who was assigned to aircraft 01 "163152" but none of the other pilots.

I would greatly appreciate if someone could assist me with this,
Thanks Todd

I would very seriously doubt any particular pilot flew only the plane with his name on it. Names were painted for morale purposes but more likely they flew whichever plane they were assigned on that mission. There's always more pilots in a squadron than there were planes in that squadron..
