Farewell to the Tomcat...

coolhand · 09-22-2006, 03:31 AM

Well, the last of the F-14s in the Naval Inventory is set to retire.
I know it's no match for our current attack/fighters, its still a sad
end of an era and see it retire.

I remember being young and seeing Top Gun for the first time and
how much I loved that bird!

Quote:

The US Navy began a series of ceremonies on Thursday to celebrate the F-14, as the pilot favourite that served on aircraft carriers for three decades heads into retirement. The last of the F-14 Tomcats still in service were being flown at Oceana Naval Air Station in Virginia as part of the goodbye ceremonies that would last into Friday, a Navy spokeswoman said.

They should be put into an air mueseum. I too loved the f-14, and wouldnt mind seeing the last of them in a special place.

	[KTA] is currently recruiting! Steven Colbert, when asked on his show what his Iq was replied with a very straight-forward answer, it was, " I know what my IQ is, I got an A, 95!"
