A Wolfhounds of Fighter Squadron ONE. Delivered to the US Navy in November 1985 and directly assigned to VF-1. From 2013 onwards, it was moved to VF-213 and crashed in service with that squadron after an unristricted climb from Berry Field ANG Facility, Nashville International Airport (TN). The Cat departed controlled flight and crashed on civil grounds. Both pilots and three people on the ground died. This was the same crew who survived a crash on 27 April 1995 with F-14A 161273/NH-116. This photo is copyright © Stephan de Bruijn, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
