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.

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.

Delivered to the US Navy on 19 December 1983. It was the very first Tomcat that was accepted by VF-154 Black Knights. The aircraft then served VF-51 (as pictured), then served VF-21 and returned to VF-154 in late 1995. On 31 August 1997 the Cat was written off when it crashed some 140 miles off the coast of Boso peninsula, Chiba Prefecture, Japan. The aircraft with its crew was executing landings and take-offs from USS Independence (CV-59) when things went wrong. Both crew survived and were picked-up by the plane guard helicopter of Indy.

A very unusual tail code on this Huron, pictured in the circuit of NAS Miramar (CA). The liaison aircraft belongs to NAWC Point Mugu (CA) which usually carries the 7L tailcode. It is not known (to me) why the TL code was used. 161202 was stored at AMARC with inventory code 5G0003 (and tail code 7L) on 12 September 1996.
