Not often illustrated is the Kfir from VF-43 which is stated to have operated at least 12 of these for dissimilar air to air training. BuNo on this example is barely visible, but contradicts reports that 999*** serial Kfirs were not used by VF-43.

Taken before the F-14A was modified to an F-14B. I like this old paintcheme much more than the dull grey paint, which seemed to look dirty very soon after painting. The extreme deflection of the horizontal stabilizer is intersting. Nose wheel just in air.

One of the many F-104G/RF-104G fighters from the German Navy that visited Keflavik in the late 1970s. It was quite a trip for the stubby wing fighter loaded with underwing fuel tanks. However I never heard of mishaps or losses on this kind of mission.
