Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 314 (VMFA-314) is a United States Marine Corps F/A-18A++ Hornet squadron. The squadron, known as the “Black Knights”, is based at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, California and falls under the command of Marine Aircraft Group 11 (MAG-11) and the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing (3d MAW). Their tail code is VW.

In 2020, VMFA-314 began transitioning to the F-35C Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter, the first Marine Corps squadron to transition to the carrier (CV) variant. Once transition is complete and the squadron achieves Full Operational Capability in the F-35C, VMFA-314 will integrate and deploy with U.S. Navy carrier air wings aboard Nimitz and Gerald R. Ford class aircraft carriers.[11][12]

On June 21, 2019, the squadron retired the F/A-18A++ and began training on the F-35C.[13] VMFA-314 was the first Marine Corps squadron to transition to the F-35C receiving its first aircraft on January 21, 2020.[14]

On January 3, 2022, VMFA-314 departed Naval Base San Diego onboard the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) as part of Carrier Air Wing Nine. VMFA-314 was the first Marine Corps F-35C squadron to deploy on an aircraft carrier.[15][14]

2023 VMFA-314 will assist VMFA-311 in her standing up and reactivation until 2024 when its scheduled to be completed.
