lana- Sad, sad day............ :-( BRBR


VERY sad that a great squadron is gone, but as a guy that flew the Turkey, like
the F-4 guys said when the F-8 was leaving...."when yer outta Tomcats, it's no
big deal".
Never liked the A/C. Great design that languished in it's middle and later
years. It needed redesign badly, with it's 'supersonic A-6" flightcontrols and
analog weapons system, but it wasn't and the F-14A/B/D was not on par with any
other series 4 A/C of the times..in the late 90s.
