LC34 Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 Anyone have some good museums to check out the F-14 while we wait for it here? If so, how close can you get? Inside cockpit views etc? I know the ANG museum here in Minneapolis MN had one at one time, but I don't know if it is still there or not. AMD Ryzen 7 7800X#D 64 GB Ram MSI RTX 4090 Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS

Nosferatuwhisky 1-1 Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 The National Naval Aviation Museum at NAS Pansacola, free to enter, has the last operational F-14. you can walk around and touch all her bits. "Chops"
Bearfoot Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 As does the USS Midway museum in San Diego: https://www.tripadvisor.com/LocationPhotoDirectLink-g60750-d531819-i257104327-USS_Midway_Museum-San_Diego_California.html
some1 Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 Iran is your best bet, though getting there might be a little tricky.

punk Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 Pacific Coast Air Museum in Santa Rosa CA has one still technically operational Tomcat, as in it has its engines and equipment for flight, though it probably will need plenty spares by now. At least it was so the last time I saw it a few years back. They rotate aircraft for open displays, so check their calendar or go during an airshow or something and you can sit in her. Let me tell you, it has the best over the nose viz I have ever seen in any other aircraft I have ever been in. It fit like glove too, like it had been made for me. Punk [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

That's the one inside, plus there's an other one on a pedestal in front of the museum. And a lot of other interesting things to see. Definitely a must go. :thumbup:

Atooyi Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 Iran is your best bet, though getting there might be a little tricky. Not really tricky, they establish annual airshows in my hometown (and some other bases) which is the main home of Persian cats ( although for some unknown reasons the airshow was cancelled this year). there you can see the cats, f-7 s, pc-7 s, and talk to the pilots. actually, we found our pilot friends at one of this airshows. :smartass::smartass:

Even got back into the storage area on the old flight line in back. More pretty birds "Chops"

I've had friends visit Iran and it's been fine as long as they had a guide who wasn't up to no good..which was only once thankfully!
