The second Tomcat that I saw this day taking off that day climbs into the overcast sky. Not the best day for photography, but one has to take the conditions in ones stride. Not often that you get a personal guided tour of Oceana.
160403/AJ-201 while on duty with VF-41 managed to shoot down a Libyan SU-22 on August 19th, 1981. Now preserved at the American Airpower Heritage Museum, Midland, TX
