Technically true at the time the photo was taken, but potentially misleading. The "unit" in this case is the carrier airwing, not the squadron. If the squadron were to be reassigned, as often happens, it would sport new tail letters to match all the other squadrons in the wing. | |

+1 for the squadron. I can see an 'AG', also on those, any idea what it stands for?
