A VF-1 "Wolfpack" F-14A working the pattern of homebase NAS Miramar (CA). The Tomcat was delivered to the US Navy in mid-1976. It was already stricken at Naval Air Deport Norfolk (VA) on 24 February 1995. Most probably stored and cannibalized and scrapped afterwards. The Wolfpacks were established on 14 October 1972 and disestablished on 30 September 1993. They were the first operational fighter squadron equipped with the F-14, the squadron received their first F-14A's on 1 July 1973.
