All good things come to an end and so it was with the #f14tomcat in #usnavy service. The end came in 2006 when the VF-31 Tomcatters shut down their F-14Ds for the final time.
On this episode, the final Tomcat squadron commander “Puck” Howe explains how there is much more to the story than simply the Tomcat Sunset ceremony at NAS Oceana and a final flight, such as the final deployment and behind-the-scenes activities to retire a legendary #aircraft.
