This plane is actually from 314, not 121

[edit]

Apparently on the same day, February 21 in 1991, two Marine Hornets were damaged by Surface-to-Air missiles. One from the Green Knights of VMFA(AW)-121 and one from the Black Knights of VMFA-314. The 121 plane flown by Lt. Col. Bode was hit in the starboard engine, according to his WSO, Capt Scanlan. The damage in this picture is clearly to the port side engine. I have in my possession a photograph taken with a wider view where the "VW" is visible on the port vertical stab. JJLatWiki (talk) 22:46, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
