Delivered to the US Navy as F-14A-120-GR and directly assigned to this Fleet Replaxcement Squadron (FRS) VF-101 Grim Reapers. The Tomcat was modified to F-14B(U)in 1998 and was moved to AMARC on 26 January 2005. It received inventory code 1K0173. The Cat was stricken on 27 July 2005 and scrapped soon after. This Tomcat followed me as two other pictures of the Cat can be found in the AirHistory archive!

Martin Baker, the manufacturer of those famous ejection seats reported that this RF-4C was written off on 17 February 1993. The USAF confirmed the incident, but without any further details. Best news is that both crew survived the ejection, but the Recce Spook was fully destroyed. The incident most probably took place at of near homebase Birmingham (AL). The Phantom is here shown at the static of Oceana.

Those terrible static shots... the visiting people to the NAS Oceana air show were constantly all-over... but its a nice Marines Bronco. After service, this Delta was moved to the American Warbirds Inc of Gaithersburg (MD) in October 1994, but soon after it was transferred to the US Department of State at Patrick AFB (FL) as N476AW on 21 October 1997. It was withdrawn from use in 2008 and destroyed on 24 March 2009

This Academe arrived at AMARC on 13 September 1994. It received inventory code 4G0004. The Gulfstream I departed the storage depot on 17 May 2012 and was then scrapped by HVF West, Tucson (AZ). The TC-4C Acamede with its A-6 nose section was a version with added instruments and navigation. It was used by the US Navy for bombardier/navigator training for the A-6 Intruder and EA-6 Prowler. The US Navy had nine in inventory, one crashed. Only one survived, and this one is in storage at Pensacola.

This Academe arrived at AMARC on 13 September 1994. It received inventory code 4G0004. The Gulfstream I departed the storage depot on 17 May 2012 and was then scrapped by HVF West, Tucson (AZ). The TC-4C Acamede with its A-6 nose section was a version with added instruments and navigation. It was used by the US Navy for bombardier/navigator training for the A-6 Intruder and EA-6 Prowler. The US Navy had nine in inventory, one crashed. Only one survived, and this one is in storage at Pensacola.

With its Bureau Number scratched away, this Tomcat was performing a nice display over Oceana. It even flew with a Pitts Special in formation, with the Pitts upside down. Anyone for the BuNo?
