Last Land-Based West Coast F-14 Retired
By Tyson V. Rininger
Sitting alone, quietly on tarmac, Bloodhound 200 was about to
take her final flight. Surrounded by software engineers, research
and development workers, former Grumman employees and lots of
Tomcat fans, the NF-14D's stood proud despite the patchwork paint.
BuNo 163416 was the star of the show. Everyone wanted their picture
taken with her.
