A very clean and brand-new Fiscal Year 1990 F-14D Super Tomcat. The beauty was accepted by the US Navy on 22 August 1991, and this picture was made only 5 days earlier! It was first assigned to VF-124, followed in August 1992 by VF-11. Later it moved to VF-31 and VF-101, then varying several times between VF-213 and VF-31. It was part of the final Tomcat cruise. 164341 was moved to AMARG for storage on 20 September 2006. It received inventory code AN1K0200. It was stricken on 29 November 2006. Pity as this Super Tomcat was at that time much newer, with less flight hours than many US fighters!
