The Navy will deactivate the Grim Reapers of Strike Fighter Squadron 101, consolidating all Joint Strike Fighter operations and training at California’s Naval Air Station Lemoore, officials confirmed on Friday.
The squadron has been based at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida. It was reactivated in 2012 as the Navy’s initial F-35C fleet replacement squadron. At the time, the Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force Joint Strike Fighter replacement squadrons were located there as well.
The move of the Grim Reapers' 15 aircraft is slated to be effective on July 1, according to OPNAV notice 5400.
