VAW-110

VAW-110, nicknamed the Firebirds, was a U.S. Navy Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron based at NAS Miramar, California. It had its beginnings on 20 April 1967 as Replacement Airborne Early Warning Squadron 110, RVAW-110, which had been formed when VAW-11 was broken into six separate squadrons. In spite of its primary role in training, RVAW-110 acquired operational skills through deployments on the Coral Sea, Oriskany, and Franklin D. Roosevelt during the Vietnam War. On 1 May 1983, the squadron was redesignated VAW-110, aligning its designation with its actual mission and capabilities.

In late 1987, VAW-110 began training personnel for the C-2A Greyhound carrier onboard delivery aircraft. Later it also trained crews for new variants of the E-2C Hawkeye. After more than 27 years of service under two designations, VAW-110 was disestablished on 30 September 1994. Its duties were assumed by Norfolk-based VAW-120.
