Grumman F-14A Tomcat

If you're going to Seattle, you can't miss the Museum of Flight.  It was the first place I went to!

This gorgeous example of a F-14 sits out front of the MOF, resplendent in VF-84 ("Jolly Rogers") colors, off of the USS Nimitz in the late 1970s/early 1980s, before the Navy went low-viz.  For my money, next to VF-111 Sundowners' sharkmouthed F-14s, this is THE F-14 color scheme.  One can easily see where Macross/Robotech got the inspiration for the VF-1 Valkyries of Skull Squadron!

Incidentally, I got to see the Nimitz heading into Bremerton on my way into Seattle, but didn't have time to get to my camera...
