This Tomcat is painted to represent BuNo 160403, which was one of two VF-41 Black aces F-14s from USS Nimitz involved in shooting down two Libyan Su-22 "Fitters" over the Gulf of Sidra. This happened early in the Reagan presidency and so this F-14 is on display at Reagan Library to commemorate the event. In reality this is BuNo 162592, which was delivered to the Navy in January 1986 and served with VF-1, VF-21, VF-154, and finally the Naval Strike and Air Warfare Center (formally TopGun).
