On approach to NAS Oceana in late 1988 this VF-74 Tomcat wore the toned down markings which were common at that time. She was written off in early 1993 and her remains are recorded as dumped at NAD Norfolk.
Photographed from just outside the perimeter fence at NAS Oceana on a very dark day in November 1988, this VF-31 'Tomcats' F-14A Tomcat is believed to be Bu.No 159020. This was in the transitional days before lo-vis markings became the norm.
