This FY89 Super Tomcat was delivered to the US Navy in 31 May 1991, so pretty new when this photo was made. The Tomcat was retired after service with VF-31 and belonged to the very final operational Tomcats of the US Navy. It was stricken on 26 September 2006 and left NAS Oceana by low-loading trailer on 28 November 2006 for Hickory Regional Airport (NC) for preservation with the Sabre Society of North Carolina.
