On 8 Nov'86, the Blue Angels completed their 40th anniversary year and unveiled what would be their aircraft through their 75th anniversary year, the F/A-18A/B. Here, a A is going for a new display in their first year of Hornet ops. 161523 is a FY80 a/c which was seen from late '91 at the dump of the Naval Weapons Evaluation Facility Albuquerque (NM). Here it was used in an investigation programme in which aircraft-weapon interfaces were researched to provide USN aircraft with nuclear weapons delivery capability. It was stored at AMARC (1A0008) from 3 May'95 and was scrapped on 12 Sep'18.

Delivered to the US Navy as F-14A-120-GR and directly assigned to this Fleet Replaxcement Squadron (FRS) VF-101 Grim Reapers. The Tomcat was modified to F-14B(U)in 1998 and was moved to AMARC on 26 January 2005. It received inventory code 1K0173. The Cat was stricken on 27 July 2005 and scrapped soon after. This Tomcat followed me as two other pictures of the Cat can be found in the AirHistory archive! Just click the grey "combined data search" button below this picture and thick the boxes "photo by" and "registration / serial" to see them both.
