This Fiscal Year 1980 Blue Angel was seen from late 1991 at the dump of the Naval Weapons Evaluation Facility (NWEF) at Albuquerque (NM) where it was used in an investigation programme in which aircraft-weapon interfaces were researched to provide United States Navy aircraft with nuclear weapons delivery capability. After the programme, the Hornet was transferred to NAD North Island in early 1992, then served the NAWC-AD. It was stored at AMARC with inventory code 1A0008 from 3 May 1995. The Hornet was moved to HVF West on 12 September 2018 and scrapped.

163225 was delivered to the US Navy in July 1986, it was later redesignated from F-14A+ to F-14B. The Cat VF-24 (as pictured), VF-101, VF-103, VF-102, was modified to F-14B(U) by October 2000 and ended its operational career with VF-102. It was then transferred to FRS VF-101 and withdrawn from use at Oceana in early 2004. The F-14B(U) was most probably scrapped by early August 2004.

Delivered to the US Navy in January 1986, this weathered looking F-14A was pictured at the Miramar flightline when serving VF-111 Sundowners. The aircraft was written off on 3 October 2002 in Gulf of Mexico, off the coast of Key West (FL). Both crewmembers ejected safely. Funny thing is, that this was the airframe of which the right part of the tail was found by civilians at Long Strand near Cork, Ireland (!) on 5 May 2006.

Lovely filled flight line at Miramar, all Cats you see here belong to the local Fleet Replacement Squadron, Fighting Squadron (VF) 124 Gunfighters. This 159858 was delivered to the US Navy late August 1976. It started to fly with VX-4, but was soon transferred to VF-114 and served later VF-2, VF-124 (as pictured), VF-1, VF-24 and VF-101. It was stored at AMARC already on 23 August 1995. On 9 January 2008, it was moved to HVF West at Tucson and was scrapped.

A Fighting Renegades F-14B+ captured low over the NAS Miramar (CA) runway. The F-14B Block 150 was ordered in fiscal year 1987 and VF-24 was its first user. The squadron was equipped with the upgraded Tomcat from 1989 to 1992. But there were too less F-14Bs and other squadrons received higher priority, so the Renegades transitioned back to F-14A. This 163226 became an F-14B Avionics Upgrade test aircraft with VX-9 Det Point Mugu ('codes XF-241) from July 1996. It was stored in November 2004 at AMARC as AN1K0152 and scrapped by HVF West in September 2008.

After its military career, this Naval reserve Cat was retired to AMARC with inventory code 1K0012 in August 1990. It departed AMARG as AN1K0012 on 4 April 2005 with a sad destination, HVF West where it was scrapped. 158994 was delivered to the US Navy on 17 May 1974 and VF-2 was its first user. It then served VF-1, VF-124 before its was assigned to VF-301 Devils Desciples. VF-301 was disestablished on 31 December 1994.

The Tomcat was eventually withdrawn from use after serving the other FRS, VF-101 Grim Reapers, via NAD Jacksonville in September 1999. The airframe was struck off and scrapped by October 2001.

This Skyhawk was stored at AMARC from June 1978 to March 1980 (inventory code 3A525). The US Navy showed interest again in the hot rod and brought it back to live via NARF Pensacola (FL). Its final assignment was with the adversary squadron VF-126 "Bandits" and flew from NAS Miramar up to the late ninetees. It was last seen in 1993 at the dump of Miramar. Current fate unknown.

This Hawkeye should carry 'ND' as its tailcode. It was assigned to the USS Independence at the time of this picture. The squadron, VAW-88 "Cottonpickers" was part of the Carier Air Wing Reserve (CVWR) 30. The Cottonpickers were established on 1 June 1970. They flew Grumman E-1B Tracers (from 1970-1976), E-2B Hawkeyes (from 1976-1986) and the E-2Cs up to 1994. VAW-88 was disestablished during a ceremony at Miramar on 27 August 1994 (officially 31 December 1994). 160697 was seen on the dump of NAS North Island from early 1996 onwards. The Hawkeye was stricken by September 1998.

This Hawkeye should carry 'ND' as its tailcode. It was assigned to the USS Independence at the time of this picture. The squadron, VAW-88 "Cottonpickers" was part of the Carier Air Wing Reserve (CVWR) 30. The Cottonpickers were established on 1 June 1970. They flew Grumman E-1B Tracers (from 1970-1976), E-2B Hawkeyes (from 1976-1986) and the E-2Cs up to 1994. VAW-88 was disestablished during a ceremony at Miramar on 27 August 1994 (officially 31 December 1994). 160697 was seen on the dump of NAS North Island from early 1996 onwards. The Hawkeye was stricken by September 1998.
