F-14s galore!

the A6F got as far as prototypes flying before Congress killed it over the navy's objections and crammed F-18 down our throats. I was a A6E Instructor and had to spend 8 months working with Gruman writing a training course for a aircraft that had been canceled

We did work on the A6F project as well. I wasn’t involved with that, but a good friend of mine was. When it was cancelled, he quit engineering and became a fireman!
 
I have the F-14 in DCS. Its modeled down to every last button and switch, everything functional. Happy to take anyone for a ride using screenshare in Discord or something Lol.
 
I was on the Ranger CV-61 from 85-87. We used to go up on Buzzards row and watch the flight ops once in a while. 95% of my time was spent in the engine room #2 and #3. Left there and went to C school on Treasure Island for a few months then on to an ammo boat AE-21 the Maunea Kea from 87-90.

Going through some old patches and stickers and came across these today.....I know there's more, somewhere. I had a few on my locker (previous career), one was a Tomcat "Lighter Fighter Program".
