A look at the calendar reveals that it is Tomcat Thursday, so here's a photo of an F-14B of FITRON 32 "Fighting Swordsmen" trapping. VF-32 was one of the few Tomcat squadrons to get F-14B and F-14D aircraft with the much better F110 engine.

A minor footnote: I will be moving from my llama farm to a house in town in several weeks. It's likely that the resultant chaos will take me off-line for a bit so I will be missing in action for a while. Fear not... Tomcat Thursday shall return!

Good luck with your move. Hopefully you will be able to go back and visit the farm if you like. New chapter. Go forward!

Thanks for all of your airplane posts. This thread is awesome thanks to you.

Israeli F-16I with conformal tanks to free spots and 4 Rampage missiles. F-16 is no longer nor has been a light weight fighter in years. Wonder what a I model weighs with all the fuel tanks and weapons

I used to love working those! They climbed like homesick angels! They'd get up and out of Dodge quickly and FAST! They are a controller's dream... TRACON & tower controllers anyway.
