Fighter Squadron (VF) 201 "Hunters" of the United States Navy Reserves operated factory-new Tomcats, but the squadron received (after transition from the F-4S) also very old Tomcats, like this 33rd built 158632. But... old or new... they all looked great and were in splendid condition when the squadron started receiving the aircraft in 1987.

AF-104 of Fighter Squadron (VF) 201 Hunters on its way to the runway of NAS Dallas (TX). On this September 1987 day, the squadron performed some Dissimilar air combat training (DACT) with Tyndall F-15s that were deployed to Dallas. The pilot of one of the Tomcat said the memorable words to me before he entered his office: "Today we're gonna eat some Eagles" in a Texas slang. This BuNo 162708 crashed on 23 December 1993 during an Air Combat Manoeuvring engagement with an A-4 Skyhawk, some 30 miles SW of Dallas.

Marine Attack Squadron (All Weather) 533 'Hawks' operated the A-6 Intruder since 1965. Soon after the transition to the Intruder the squadron was deployed to Vietnam to support combat operations. In 1975 they returned to Continental US where they were based at MCAS Cherry Point (NC). In 1976, the A-6A was replaced by the more modern A-6E. With that aircraft the Hawks deployed for another combat tour, this time to the Gulf War in 1990. In 1992 the A-6E was replaced by the F/A-18D.

Fighter squadron (VF) 202 Superheats, was a Tomcat squadron under the command of the United States Naval Reserve at NAS Dallas (TX).

Fighter Squadron (VF) 202 "Superheats" was a Tomcat squadron under the command of the US Naval Reserve and Carrier Air Wing Reserve TWENTY. It was based at NAS Dallas (TX). VF-202 was disestablished on 31 December 1994. Only months before this picture was taken, the squadron transitioned from F-4S to F-14A. Some Tomcats were delivered directly from the Grumman production line, others arrived from operational squadrons, creating a mix of aircraft in full colours and toned-down schemes.

This Miles Messenger was going through a restoration at Wangaratta.
