Default Final flight of the F-14 Tomcat today

x-post from OOT:


Today marks the last flight of the F-14 Tomcat. I'll write more later if anyone has questions, but for more info and stream to watch the event, check out www.wvec.com . The event kicks off at 8 with the aircraft taking off at 10 (EAstern time).

Is it being replaced by the F-22 or just taken out without replacement?

I think it's being replaced by the F/A-18

FA-18 = short term
JSF = long term

Thats the general idea anyhow. After they finish phasing in the EA-18G, the follow on platform for my airplane, we will have an all Hornet/Super Hornet Naval Air Force. JSF is expected to eventually replace all those. F-22 is the Air Force baby.

VR,

Are they going to cram four dudes into an EA-18?
