VF-1485 
VF-1485 was a squadron augment unit at NAS Miramar that came under the
control of Naval Air Reserve Detachment (NARDet) Miramar in the 1980s (and
possibly into the early '90s). The "squadron" consisted of pilots, NFOs and
possible some maintenance troops that provided support to VF-124 on one
weekend a month, plus the aircrew were obligated to fly at least 48 other
four-hour periods (called "drills") during the year. This, plus a two-week
active duty stint each year.
The squadron had no aircraft, but flew VF-124's aircraft. They were interchangable with VF-124's staff, and they provided instructor support for the training squadron. As a matter of interest, up until 1984, there was also a VF-1285 at Miramar that flew with VF-301 and VF-302 in those squadrons' F-4s, but was disbanded when the Reserves transitioned to the Tomcat in 1984.
