Putting a Cat to Bed

As the readership may or may not be aware, we luv us sum 'purty pikshurs 'round these parts. Same goes for the Grumman F-14 Tomcat. So this time 'round we figured, what the hey, why not do both?

So here's a real looker for y'all - a beauty of a shot snapped late in the evening 'somewhere in the Atlantic', showing an F-14B (
née A+) from either VF-11 'Red Rippers' or VF-143 'Pukin' Dogs', tied down for the night and receiving some end-of-day TLC. Both RONs were embarked aboard USS George Washington (CVN-73) as part of Carrier Air Wing Seven (CVW-7) during November of 2003.

Chocks and Chains, Baby...
