DESCRIPTION |
| This is a very special US NAVY FIGHTER WEAPONS SCHOOL TOP GUN F-14 TOMCAT EMBROIDERED PATCH, 4". Seal in poly bag.
The F-14 debuted in 1973 at the Navy's Top Gun school at the Miramar Naval Air Station in San Diego, California, to support fleet participation in power projection classes. In September 2003, though, the last F-14 Top Gun class graduated. The Navy now flies the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, and that, sadly, marks the twilight of the F-14's 30 years of service.
Farewell
The final F-14 class (May 2003) at the Naval Strike and Air Warfare Center (NSAWC) at Naval Air Station Fallon in Nevada was held from July 21 through September 17, 2003. Lt. Steve "Wang" Djunaedi, an F-14A RIO, was one of the last four students. A Naval Academy graduate, Wang flew with the VF-211 "Checkmates" and is now assigned to Strike-Fighter Weapons School Atlantic (SFWSL) in Virginia Beach. When asked about the class, he comments, "Since the 1986 movie 'Top Gun,' people associate the Tomcat with the Top Gun school. Only two crews were selected for this class, which was the final opportunity for an aircrew to earn Tomcat patches. It is truly a shame to see the Tomcat leave Top Gun, especially because it is largely responsible for the traditions and structure of the school today.
