  • AJ204, an F-14 Tomcat from VF-213 'Blacklions', is about to snag an arresting cable aboard the deck of the USS Theodore Roosevelt CVN-71 during sea trials prior to their 2005 Mediterranean deployment. This would be the final cruise for the F-14 Tomcat and the last time it would ever see combat.

  • AJ111, BuNo 159600 was delivered as a block 85 F-14A model to the US Navy on 16 July 1975. Initial assignments were to train nugget Tomcat crews in both the east and west coast Fleet Readiness Squadrons; VF-124 Gunfighters at NAS Miramar and VF-101 Grim Reapers at NAS Oceana. In 1987, 159600 transferred to the fleet, serving, in order, with VF-142 Ghostriders, VF-14 Tophatters and again with VF-142 Ghostriders with at NAS Oceana.<br />
<br />
In the early 1990's, 159600 would be at NADEP Norfolk undergoing remanufacture into an F-14D(R). Emerging in 1994 as the fifth remanufactured D model Tomcat, 159600 would rejoin the fleet in 1994 with VF-2 Bounty Hunters at NAS Miramar. During this tour, NAS Miramar transferred to the Marine Corps and 159600 and the rest of the VF-2 Bounty Hunters relocated to NAS Oceana. In 2003, 159600 once more serve in Fleet Readiness Squadron VF-101 Grim Reapers. The following year, 159600 would be assigned to VF-31 Tomcatters where she would remain until the Tomcat's retirement in September 2006.<br />
<br />
While participating in the Tomcat's final cruise from September 2005 to March 2006, 159600 would suffer a structural failure. During routine maintenance a bulkhead would blow out and she would spend most of the next few months in the hangar, earning her the nickname "Christine". Eventually 159600 would be repaired. Once returned to flight status 159600 would become a squadron workhorse for the remainder of the deployment, a testament to both her Grumman "Ironworks" legacy and the fine men and women who have maintained the F-14 Tomcat. After more than 30 years of service, F-14D(R) 159600 would finish her career with the singular distinction of being the longest serving F-14 Tomcat in the US Navy's inventory, and proudly earn the right to claim "Anytime, Baby"!

  • Goodyear Blimp On the side of the Goodyear Blimp reside 3,780 boards containing 82,656 Light Emitting Diodes (LED's) projecting messages to a wide audience of spectators below.<br />
<br />
In 1996, Goodyear upgraded the sign technology named 'Super Skytacular 2' to include 1.75 miles of wire connecting each of the 2x3 boards comprising 12 LED's each.<br />
<br />
The combination of LED's can be lightened or darkened individually creating a pallet of 32,768 possible colors of which 256 could be displayed simultaneously.

  • Going beyond the Very Light Jet (VLJ) is the new Eclipse Concept Jet (ECJ).<br />
<br />
Eclipse Concept Jet (ECJ) is a single-engine, four-place aircraft featuring a V-tail empennage and a turbofan engine mounted on a pod atop the rear of the fuselage. It is projected to have a maximum cruise speed of 345 knots, a 41,000-foot-service ceiling, and a 1,250-nautical-mile range.<br />
<br />
The ECJ was designed with an eye toward escalating fuel prices.  Eclipse views low fuel consumption as critical to commercial success.

  • At an altitude slightly lower than the standard jump height, a member of the the Skyhawks parachute team throws streamers out the back of the aircraft in order to determine wind direction. It is from this information the skydivers can better estimate how far and from which direction to best jump from the aircraft resulting in a pinpoint landing.
