This VF-1 F-14A is painted in the "Ferris" deceptive paint scheme that was tested in 1976 - 1977. Developed by the noted aviation artist Kieth Ferris, it ultimately wasn't adapted by the USN. VF-1 was assigned to CVW-14 aboard USS Enterprise when the slide was taken at NAS Cubi Point.

Taken on the carrier ramp side of NAS Cubi Point. The carrier ramp consisted of a hangar surrounded by a large a/c parking area. This area was for use by aircraft carrier air wings while the carrier was in port. The air wing aircraft (normally not all) would be flown off before the carrier reached port. This allowed for flying to take place during the in port period. CVW-14 was assigned to the USS Enterprise when the slide was taken.

On 21 October 1967 at the NAS New Orleans Airshow this F-11A had an engine flameout just after taking off. It settled back onto the runway and continued off into a field beyond the end of the runway. The pilot was unhurt. The a/c was deemed unrepairable and remained at the base. It was then restored for display and mounted at the entrance to the base. It has since been replaced by a F/A-18 Hornet and is now on display at the airport in Reserve, LA.
