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.
Seen just before overflying the fence at Oceana, this Viking was SOC after her undercarriage collapsed during an emergency landing on the USS Theodore Roosevelt in Arabian Sea Jan 9, 2002.
