Widely regarded as the
finest interceptor flying in the world, the F-14 is the fleet
defender. It is the only aircraft to carry the Phoenix missile,
the largest air to air missile in the US inventory, and is able to
engage up to 6 targets at the same time at ranges out to 100 miles. |

NAS
Oceana is the home of the Tomcat. The air show there features
the F-14 like no other base in the world. These photographs are
from the 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005 NAS Oceana air shows. They feature
CAG aircraft from the Pukin' Dogs (blue tail), Red Rippers (black tail w/red lightning
bolt), Grim Reapers (black tail/shark's mouth nose), and Blacklions
(black lion on tail) . |
