VMFA-112 "Wolfpack" was established on March 1, 1942. In 1960 they received the FJ-3 "Fury" and in 1965 they transitioned to the F-8 Crusader. In July 1967 VMFA(AW)-112 changed their name and logo from "Wolfpack" to "Cowboys" to reflect the local NFL team Dallas Cowboys. In early 1976 the squadron began to receive the F-4 Phantom II and became VMFA-112. In 1992 VMFA-112 was the last unit to fly the F-4, excluding "Wild Weasel", units and began to receive the new F/A-18. F/A-18C 163702 c/n 761/C064 was built in 1988.
