The Tomcatters commanders aircraft gets a final check of the crew chief before the pilots get approval for the taxi ride to one of TR's cats. Many Tomcats were scrapped at AMARG to prevent spare parts feeding to Iran. Luckily, this beauty was relieved from that fate. Since September 2006, 164342 has been preserved at the Wings over Miami Museum at Kendall (FL).
