This FY1989 Tomcat, the 15th built F-14D, was delivered to the US Navy on 24 March 1991, so it was only some four months in use when this picture was made. It served VF-124 up to 1993 when it was transferred to VF-11, and later to VF-31 and VF-2 and VF-101 before it was stricken and sadly scrapped at Oceana on 22 September 2005.

First delivered as a TA-4F to the US Navy in 1967 and assigned to VA-127. The Skyhawk was converted to TA-4J in 1973 and continued with VA-127. In 1979 it was assigned as an adversary aircraft to VF-126 "Bandits"at NAS Miramar (CA). It crashed as NJ-610 on 2 April 1992.

First delivered as a TA-4F to VA-127 in 1968. The aircraft was converted to TA-4J in 1971 and then served VX-4, again VA-127, VF-126, VC-7, again VA-127, and from 1989 onward VF-126. It was stored at AMARC with inventory code AN3A0656 on 23 June 1992. The Skyhawk was sold as scrap to HVF West, Tucson (AZ) and left the storage depot on 15 November 2022.

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.

This F-14A was delivered to the US Navy on 12 November 1975 and assigned to VF-124. IOn 18 February 1976, it was transferred to VF-211. It returned to VF-124 in the late '80s and stayed with that Fleet Replcement Squadron untill it was retired on 12 October 1994. The Tomcat is preserved El Centro since late 1999.

This nice Greyhound carried an additional batch near the VRC-30 badge. The green badge shows the world and the he words "Operation Desert Storm World Tour 90-91 Kuwait AGS"

The Screaming Eagles double nuts. It made its last cruise as such in '90, following a WestPac deployment on board USS Carl Vinson to the Indian Ocean that ended on 31 Jul'90. The Cat continued as the VF-51 CAG bird through '91 (as pictured, check the AIM-54 Phoenix air-to-air missile underneath the fuselage). The F-14A was moved as NE-102 to VF-2 in '93 and was deployed in Jun'94 with CVW-15 USS Kitty Hawk in a WestPac-Indian Ocean cruise. It crashed on 11 Jul'94 when it broke in half during a trap on board Kitty. The cockpitsection slid down over the deck and over the side. Crew ejected safe.
