Fighter Squadron 1 (VF-1) Wolfpack was established on October 14, 1972 at NAS Miramar. VF-1 and VF-2 were the first F-14 fighter squadrons. VF-1 received the first F-14As on July 1, 1973. The squadron's insignia was a red wolf’s head designed by Grumman Commercial Artist, George M. Kehew who himself is a WWII combat veteran.
