The second-oldest strike fighter squadron in the Navy is VFA-31, the Tomcatters. They use "Felix" as their callsign and over the years have adorned their aircraft with the vintage cartoon Felix the cat carrying a lit bomb.

They span the period from yellow-winged biplanes to the Super Hornet of today. Their aircraft have not always featured the insignia. As I have posted before, during World War II squadron insignia were limited to several inches in size. During the 1950s Navy carrier aircraft frequently displayed no insignia at all.

Nevertheless, here are some aircraft of the Tomcatters over the period 1930 to today displaying the Felix insignia.
