Stricken at NAS Oceana (VA) on 1 August 2002 and probably soon after scrapped. Here the Tomcat is seen with Air Test and Evaluation Squadron (VX) Nine (AIRTEVRON NINE) "The Vampires". VX-9 was based at NAWS China Lake (CA) and ran a permanent detachment, named VX-9/Det, at nearby NAS Point Mugu (CA).
