A VF-84 Jolly Rogers (The real ones) Tomcat from USS Theodore Roosevelt, scanned from a 6x4 print, this aircraft was w/o 25/10/94 in the infamous crash that sadly killed Lt. Kara Hultgreen, the US Navies first female carrier-based combat pilot.
The last of the US Navy F-14A's belonged to VF-211 Fighting Checkmates. Two of the last examples reside at Oceana only a couple of months away from retirement.
A distinctively lo-vis F-14A of VF-101 as 'AD-137'. Sorry, a poor photo but it does make the point regards the differences in markings around this time.
An F-14A Tomcat from the approach at Ocean in late 1988. She was operated by VF-101 'Grim Reapers' which was the East Coast F-14 community RAG squadron. A nice 'mid vis' paint scheme!
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.
