Following its NFDS career, this Herk sevred VMGR-352, -252 and -352 and was sadly dumped at Miramar from March 2005. It was last seen without engines and nose, and complete striupped from the inside in mid-2005. Most probably the aircraft was fully scrapped soon after.

A grey packed Cat flight line at Miramar. After VF-24, this Tomcat served VF-213, VF-1 and VF-111 before it went to Fleet Replacement Aviation Maintenance Personnel (FRAMP) at Miramar in 1995. It was then moved to Naval Air Depot Jacksonville (FL), overhauled and assigned to VF-211 by 1997 and later assigned to VF-41. This squadron said farewell to 161294, it was withdrawn from use in 2000, stored at NAS Oceana (VA) and eventually stricken and scrapped by early 2003.

This fine Tomcat was delivered to the US Navy on 27 March 1982 and started to fly with Fighter Squadron (VF) 2, it later flew with VF-211 (as pictured), again VF-2, VF-213, VF-154 and crashed with that squadron during a night approach to the USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63) while operating in the Persian Gulf on 15 June 1999. The Tomcat had a single engine failure and returned to the carrier. But some minutes before the landing, the other engine stopped working too. Both crew managed to eject safely.

This Fiscal Year 1980 Blue Angel was seen from late 1991 at the dump of the Naval Weapons Evaluation Facility (NWEF) at Albuquerque (NM) where it was used in an investigation programme in which aircraft-weapon interfaces were researched to provide United States Navy aircraft with nuclear weapons delivery capability. After the programme, the Hornet was transferred to NAD North Island in early 1992, then served the NAWC-AD. It was stored at AMARC with inventory code 1A0008 from 3 May 1995. The Hornet was moved to HVF West on 12 September 2018 and scrapped.

Built as a F-4J, this Phantom was delivered in the early 70s to the US Navy and started to serve VF-154. It was transferred to Air Test and Evaluation Squadron (VX) FOUR in '76 just after it was converted to F-4S. The Spook served as the prototype for the F-4S from Jul'77. It was later transferred to VMFA-321 and returned to VX-4 in the famous Vandy One colours (as pictured). By early '92 it was modified to QF-4S and was temporarly stored at Cherry Point up to Aug'99 and was transferred to VX-30. It was struck of charge on 17 Aug'04 and was last seen as stored at Fallon in late 2006.

163225 was delivered to the US Navy in July 1986, it was later redesignated from F-14A+ to F-14B. The Cat VF-24 (as pictured), VF-101, VF-103, VF-102, was modified to F-14B(U) by October 2000 and ended its operational career with VF-102. It was then transferred to FRS VF-101 and withdrawn from use at Oceana in early 2004. The F-14B(U) was most probably scrapped by early August 2004.

Delivered to the US Navy in January 1986, this weathered looking F-14A was pictured at the Miramar flightline when serving VF-111 Sundowners. The aircraft was written off on 3 October 2002 in Gulf of Mexico, off the coast of Key West (FL). Both crewmembers ejected safely. Funny thing is, that this was the airframe of which the right part of the tail was found by civilians at Long Strand near Cork, Ireland (!) on 5 May 2006.

Lovely filled flight line at Miramar, all Cats you see here belong to the local Fleet Replacement Squadron, Fighting Squadron (VF) 124 Gunfighters. This 159858 was delivered to the US Navy late August 1976. It started to fly with VX-4, but was soon transferred to VF-114 and served later VF-2, VF-124 (as pictured), VF-1, VF-24 and VF-101. It was stored at AMARC already on 23 August 1995. On 9 January 2008, it was moved to HVF West at Tucson and was scrapped.

A Fighting Renegades F-14B+ captured low over the NAS Miramar (CA) runway. The F-14B Block 150 was ordered in fiscal year 1987 and VF-24 was its first user. The squadron was equipped with the upgraded Tomcat from 1989 to 1992. But there were too less F-14Bs and other squadrons received higher priority, so the Renegades transitioned back to F-14A. This 163226 became an F-14B Avionics Upgrade test aircraft with VX-9 Det Point Mugu ('codes XF-241) from July 1996. It was stored in November 2004 at AMARC as AN1K0152 and scrapped by HVF West in September 2008.
