F-14A exhaust cans...White or tan?


Recommended Posts

I could be wrong here as my memory aint perfect but the TF30 didnt have that ceramic coating. I had 2 ‘111s in my test squadron and looked up the back end of those numerous times along with loads ofF-14As and I recall just a grayish, tanish metallic look. No question augmeter liners and nozzle inner flaps  on P&W F-100 and GE-110s definately were almost white when new and stayed pale greyish tan even with use. If you really want to be pendantic, put a little puddle of oil at the bottom of your F-110 flame holder because that rear bearing leaked. On start up there was often a great cloud of white smoke as a result!
