Parked on the flightline next to a Fighting Squadron (VF) 33 "Starfighters" Tomcat, this "Black Aces" Cat was delivered to the US Navy in early 1977 and sadly crashed after an engine fire in in Pamlico Sound (SC) on 26 August 1994. Both pilots ejected safely, but the Tomcat was completely destroyed. This photo is copyright © Stephan de Bruijn, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
