Sundowners and the Jolly Rogers all the way! The minute I heard that an F-14 might come out I already started plans to repaint the Tomcat!

Did 2 deployments with the Wolfpack and Bounty Hunters so I choose them but I'll take whatever comes down the pike. Saw a Wolfpack plane captain roll one off into a catwalk once, he's lucky the nose gear got hung up or he'd took a multi-million dollar swim and also saw the Bounty Hunters CAG trap a little too far right of the foul line and take the nose off an A-6 and the tail off an SH-3, very exciting day that was..talk about a major fod walkdown.

I can't believe that there was an actual reserve squadron called "Fighting Fubijars".

VF-1285 "Fighting Fubijars"

BTW, "FUBIJAR" stands for "F**K YOU BUDDY I'M JUST A RESERVIST."

I did some Westpacs with VF-1 and VF-2 on the Enterprise (not ST) and with VF-111 and VF-51 on the Vinson and KittyHawk way back in my Navy days. Sweet looking birds!!!

VF-84 Jolly Rogers and VX-4 evaluators... saw an F-4 model (flying) done in VX-4 scheme - jaw dropping

iflabs · Post by **iflabs** » Mon May 11, 2009 7:02 pm

VF-84 and VF-103. Those are the only right schemes for the tomcat.

what no low-visibility?
I like those the best

Panther F · Post by **Panther F** » Mon May 11, 2009 7:20 pm

Wow, they all look great but the "Grim Reapers" or "Sundowners" would be alright with me.

Can you tell I like the P-40 and the A-10?

I can't read what is written in the blue writing. Am I getting old ?

Here are my favorites. I have to admit my reasons are based purely upon looks alone, I don't know much about modern squadrons

.

VF-32 Swordsmen

VF-74 Bedevillers

VX-4 Vampires

VF-124 Gunfighters

NFWS Topgun

I will buy whatever is offered but hopefully someone with some pull is lurking around this site.

I want at LEAST two (2) VF-84's . . . and then we'll see.

Since we're all excited about an upcoming Tomcat and drooling over which livery we want out Tomcat featured in, I figured we can all get acquainted with the histories of our favorite F-14 squadrons and see each squadrons' liveries over the years by delving into Torsten Anft's amazing F-14 website. Click on the squadron's link and get started:

I figured that most would get upset withe the many pics, so I did not do the Low-Visibility schemes.

Dauntless · Post by **Dauntless** » Tue May 12, 2009 7:17 am

I'm liking the Vampire and Jolley Roger squadrons.
I also like the Top Gun scheme. It's different with the camo.
