Their sole mission is to provide offensive air support, armed reconnaissance and air-defense for the Marine expeditionary forces. The Squadron was first brought together as a Marine Night Fighter Squadron on March 6, 1944 during World War II. The group initially flew a AV-8A Harrier. It wasn’t until November of 1963 that the squadron started to train with the F-4B Phantom. The VMFA-542 squadron has flown several different aircrafts over the years, including the F6F Hellcat, F7F Tigercat, F3D-2 Skyknight F4D-1 Skyray. As of today they are still flying the F-4B Phantom and the squadron is still active today.
