This view almost makes one forget there was no Asian camoufage F-14 at the show (or probably still around at all). Almost.

Persian Cat power. The use of Western versus Arabic numerals is reversed on the other side of the jets. Having been 3-6022 before, this show was 3-6052's first sighting as such.

In 2005, I pictured my last operational F-14s (VF-31 and VF-213) on board the USS Theodore Roosevelt in the Arabian Sea/ Persian Gulf. Never ever expected that I was given the opportunity to see my all time favorite aircraft operational again, but thirteen years later it happened! Persian Cats in the air, after my camera shutter clicks at Kish (the non-floating variant of the USS Theodore Roosevelt in the Gulf ;-) , I made a deep bow for the Persian Cats, awesome!

Persian Cat full afterburner
