Delivered to the US Navy as F-14A-120-GR and directly assigned to this Fleet Replaxcement Squadron (FRS) VF-101 Grim Reapers. The Tomcat was modified to F-14B(U)in 1998 and was moved to AMARC on 26 January 2005. It received inventory code 1K0173. The Cat was stricken on 27 July 2005 and scrapped soon after. This Tomcat followed me as two other pictures of the Cat can be found in the AirHistory archive! Just click the grey "combined data search" button below this picture and thick the boxes "photo by" and "registration / serial" to see them both.

This Academe arrived at AMARC on 13 September 1994. It received inventory code 4G0004. The Gulfstream I departed the storage depot on 17 May 2012 and was then scrapped by HVF West, Tucson (AZ). The TC-4C Acamede with its A-6 nose section was a version with added instruments and navigation. It was used by the US Navy for bombardier/navigator training for the A-6 Intruder and EA-6 Prowler. The US Navy had nine in inventory, one crashed. Only one survived, and this one is in storage at Pensacola.

Based upon Gulfstream 550 N544GD, this unique conversion was first taken on charge by the USN's VX-30 "Bloodhounds" range and test unit based at NAS Pt Mugu, CA, in 2018. The NC-37's mission includes keeping missile ranges clear of hazards during tests, gathering telemetry data from launches and serving as a communications relay platform. It replaced one of the ageing NP-3D 'Billboard' range support aircraft but still awaits some further work as seen here at Tucson, where it is unfortunately not possible to photograph the aircraft sunny side other than by being airside.
