That was very interesting--made me a little misty-eyed!
Thanks!

Good article on the last time the Tomcat was at sea.
I was at the NAS Oceana Air Show yesterday and saw the F-14's fly thier last air show. I am going to miss the Tomcat. The Tomcat's flew in the morning as part of the Fleet Aircraft Fly-By and Fleet Air Power Demonstration. The formation included the Tomcat,Hornet and the Super Hornet. They put on quite a show.

That's the one thing I miss, since moving to the heartland of our country, Iowa. No big airshows within decent time/distance.
Never missed a show when I lived in San Diego.
