bonesvf103 Posted December 21, 2020 Posted December 21, 2020 The first flight of the F-14 was 50 years ago today. Happy birthday, baby...! v6, boNes 4 "Also, I would prefer a back seater over the extra gas any day. I would have 80 pounds of flesh to eat and a pair of glasses to start a fire." --F/A-18 Hornet pilot

Victory205 Posted December 22, 2020 Posted December 22, 2020 (edited) The second flight was more exciting... There was a toast at the Tomcat Memorial in Virginia Beach at 1608, the time of the flight, honoring the folks who built, maintained and flew the F14. It included a moment for the 68 Brothers and Sisters who were lost while flying the aircraft. Remember. Edited December 22, 2020 by Victory205 2 Fly Pretty, anyone can Fly Safe.
