"I'm Back Baby" F-14 Decal
F-14 Tomcat Decal - I'm Back Baby
DECAL 4 INCHES HIGH
The name "Tomcat" was partially chosen to pay tribute to Admiral Thomas Connolly (Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Air Warfare), as the nickname "Tom's Cat" had already been widely used by the manufacturer. In the end, the name stuck.
October 4th 2006, the very last flight of an F-14 Tomcat in U.S. service took place when a lone F-14D of VF-31 departed from NAS Oceana for Republic Airport on Long Island, New York. The birthplace of the famous feline.
All remaining intact F-14s in the U.S. were flown to and stored at the 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group "Boneyard", at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Arizona. And as a final act of political stupidity and disrespect to one of the finest aircraft ever to take to the skies, as of 2007, the swing wing movie star fleet defending feline was to be unceremoniously shredded to prevent any components from being acquired by Iran.
US lawmakers are moving to preserve a handful of Grumman F-14 Tomcat fighters retired by the US Navy (USN) 20 years ago through a proposed legislation titled “Maverick Act" that seeks to authorize the USN to transfer three mothballed F-14s to the US Space & Rocket Center
The Maverick Act, named after the famed pilot who kept writing checks his body couldn't cash, may very well allow three F-14 Tomcats bearing USN bureau numbers 164341, 164602 and 159437 to be restored and possibly two to fully operational flight condition.
The F-14 Tomcat is back, baby!!
