You and me both, I remember when Clinton had the molds destoryed back in 1996 and leaving the NAVY with the pisspoor Hornet.
Agreed. When were you in?

I love it. This is going to drive the far left crazy!
Agreed.
Walk softly and have some big bad Tomcats on your leash.
Very good!

• Come join us at the Reagan Library on Monday, August 22nd to personally witness another momentous milestone in the making of the Library’s new Air Force One Pavilion – the installation of a F-14 Tomcat at the Library’s Peace Plaza. In an exciting operation, this 44,000 pound aircraft will be craned into place in a ceremony celebrating President Reagan’s “peace through strength” initiative. The Tomcat will serve as a dramatic bridge between the Pavilion and the Presidential Learning Center. This event is standing-room only and is free to attend (regular admission applies to visit the Museum). No reservations are required. Complimentary parking shuttles will run on Presidential Drive throughout the day.
Schedule of Events:
10:00 a.m. - F-14 gets craned over 35 foot-high colonnade (open to the public to watch)

Members will be notified in advance with additional event details.
(Programs and events subject to date change. Before you visit, please call to confirm event.)

Any indication of the BuNo? Wouldn't it be great if the aircraft was one of the Tomcats that actually flew the Achille Lauro intercept mission?

To further highlight recent legislative victories in Congress, Bush will sign the energy bill Monday at the Sandia National Laboratories in New Mexico and the highway bill Wednesday in Illinois.

I stand corrected Clinton closed the F-14 Shop in Norfolk and which contanted that last two molds for F-14's.
It was actually the Fitters that fired first. They were head to head, and their IR missile was not 'all aspect' and did not track. The ROE says you can shoot when fired at, so the Tomcats of VF-41 (Black Aces) whipped around and caught the Fitters with a couple of Sidewinders.
