F/A-18C Hornet Chippy Ho Papercraft

This papercraft model is patterned after the F/A-18C Hornet of VFA-195 the "Dambusters". The squadron served aboard USS Independence, CV 62, for most of the 90's until Indy was decommissioned in September 1998 and they transferred to the Kitty Hawk, CV 63. The squadron's tactical call sign is "Chippy", hence the scheme "Chippy Ho!" on their CAG bird. This scheme first appeared on a squadron airplane in early 1995. Before decommissioning, Indy was forward deployed and home-ported in Yokosuka, Japan-Dan Nebrig
