Grumman F-14A Tomcat Late: Anytime Baby!

Interesting history about BuNo.158632, the last A model Tomcat to fly in the United States.

Ihat Tomcat was built at about the same time as BuNo.158627, that is already in the game as VF-1 stock camoflage. Both Tomcats were built as F-14A-65-GR and, BuNo.158632 was 33rd one built.

As far as I know, that Tomcat was used on the VF-124 “GunFighters”, VF-14 “Top Hatters”, and VF-211 “Fighting Checkmates”. So when the A model was retired from the U.S. Navy, BuNo. 158632 may have been the oldest F-14 that was still flyable at that time.
