VF-302 "Stallions" at NAS Miramar (CA) took delivery of this F-14A in Jun'84. It was later transferred to VF-202 and eventually stricken from US Navy inventory on 6 Sep'94. The aircraft was then preserved at Charleston (SC). VF-302 was activated on 21 May'71 and assigned to Reserve Carrier Air Wing (CVWR) 30 at Miramar. They started flying the Crusader, later the Phantom and from 1985 the Tomcat. The squadron was disestablished on 11 September 1994.
