I just picked up the Bravo Mig Killers Pt. 1 decal sheet from Furball and there's something weird.

The emblem of VF-143 is the "Pukin' Dog" griffon, which we all know and love; but NH 406 / 158430 of VF-114 "Aardvarks" has the "Pukin' Dog" griffon on the fuselage side with an "E" device inside, underneath "Commander Carrier Division Seven". There's no information about this jet on the info sheet (The only jets the sheet actually has info about are: NL-215, NK-311, NG-602, NF-100, NF-110, NF-102, NL-100, NL-110, and NL-113) Why are there two different squadron emblems on this one jet? Was VF-143 the prior squadron of this plane's crew? What's the story here?

If Wiki is to be believed, VF-114 did not score a victory in Vietnam until 20 Dec 1966 when an F-4B bagged an AN-2 with an AIM-7.

As for the VF-143 on the side, in 1964 was VF-143 on Yankee Station and this VF-114 Phantom landed on the wrong carrier to get 'zapped' by the World Famous Pukin Dogs?

There has to be a good sea story behind these markings.
