A Block 140-GR F-14A that was delivered to the US Navy in February 1987. The cat was assigned to the US Navy Reserves and served that Carrier Air Wing Reserve TWENTY up to late 1994. Then it was transferred to a Fleet replacement Squadron (VF-101) before being stored in a grey bag at NAS Cecil Field (FL) and later on at Naval Air Depot Jacksonville (FL). It stayed there up to at least November 1997 and was designated as serving for an artificial reef off the coast Florida im November 1998. In November 1999 it was last-reported at Jacksonville.
