Felix Tomcat

The mighty Tomcat, sent to the boneyard early by the same Military-Industrial Complex that gave birth to it. This example was the last F-14 Tomcat to fly. It was retired on 4 October 2006

Talk about mixed emotions. Love the shot... hate that it represents the last flight of such a great thoroughbred. By the way, is that trans-sonic vapor streaming off of the top of the canopy?

More please. :)

I used to have a model airplane with the exact same painting as this one! Unfortunately I dropped it on the ground so it was no longer possible to extended the wings, I had to glue them in position. Brings back memories! It didn't have such cool flame and vapour though!
