Here's another classic VF-211 scheme photographed a week or so before being scrapped. Of interest is the mix of VF-211 and VF-24 markings. http://www.airfighters.com/photo/93589/M/USA-Navy/Grumman-F-14A-Tomcat/162588/

For me, it was sometime in the fifties when I asked my Mommy if we were all gonna die in an atomic war.

One of my favorite 'late' Tomcat Schemes. http://www.airfighters.com/photo/93404/M/USA-Navy/Grumman-F-14A-Tomcat/162696/

F-14B 163217 before and after the Jolly Rogers final Tomcat Cruise. http://www.airfighters.com/photo/93408/M/USA-Navy/Grumman-F-14B-Tomcat/163217/ http://www.airfighters.com/photo/93239/M/USA-Navy/Grumman-F-14B-Tomcat/163217/

Reportedly, she was a good flyer.

I posted them on line that night. Someone came down the line asking for photos. One guy spoke up and they took him away.

I have received information from a reliable source, the F/A-18F we lost yesterday at NAS Fallon, was Blacklion 211, 166637. http://www.airfighters.com/photo/89394/M/USA-Navy/Boeing-F-A-18F-Super-Hornet/166637/

http://www.montgomeryadvertiser.com/article/20120221/NEWS/120221010/Pilot-jet-187th-Fighter-Wing-overrun-runway I was there! The crash happened right in front of me. Although I concur with the findings, I still question why the pilot never popped his speed brakes.

BTW, just spent some quality time with some of our war fighters and it's the consensus of opinion this major USAF draw down of air assets is to keep the F-35 program afloat.

Has there been any mention of all the new support equipment required by the F-35. I know carriers are huge, but sounds like a lot more deck/hangar bay gear will be going to sea.

OK, I have started to list the 3500 Viper slides I intend to sell. Here is a link to my auctions. I will be adding about 100 per day for the next week to ten days and then again next month and so on until the are all gone. http://www.aircraftslides.com/auction/AuctionList.aspx?lst=5&pageIndex=1&order=1&cat=34 If the link does not take you to my auctions, simply type F-16 in the search window. You have to be registered with the auction site in order to bid. Cheers, Dave

Airfighters.com has just added a new feature which allows me to reorganize my photo albums. So, here is a link to my Tomcat Album organized from earliest to near last delivered. I will be adding more Tomcats in weeks and months to come. Also, please checkout my website at 712tomcats.com. http://www.airfighters.com/photoalbums.php?albumid=64&sor=61

NF-14A, the second F-14D test vehicle. First designated an NF-14A and later to NF-14D. Note the dummy in the backseat, added for ballast. http://www.airfighters.com/photo/91578/M/USA-Navy/Grumman-NF-14A-Tomcat/161867/

Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it!

I have a drawing of the pod somewhere.

See guys, they were not made into beers cans and razor blades. http://www.tomcatequip.com/scrubber/xr.html

Years before going on display at Richmond IAP, I caught 164346 taxiing at Roswell Air Center, during Roving Sands 1997. http://www.airfighters.com/photo/91150/M/USA-Navy/Grumman-F-14D-Tomcat/164346/
