Heritage F-14 Tomcat??
Hi
I have seen pictures of a F-4 Phantom that is operated by the Heritage Flight in the US (not sure where they got it from - is it a QF-4 waiting to be blown up, or will they keep it?). This got me thinking: is there any posibility that the Heritage Flight could operate a F-14 Tomcat? There should be plenty of airframes and spare parts around, as well as people to fly and maintain it. Does anyone know if this is being/has been/will be considered? Regards Søren Augustesen |

Heritage F-14 Tomcat??
There are SIX QF-4s being used in the Heritage Flight program right
now. Two are from Holloman and four from Tyndall. All "E" models I believe. They are supposed to be permanent additions to the HF Program. The F-14 would not be part of the Heritage Flight program - the HF is run by the USAF and ACC, BUT it might be, hopefully considered for the Tailhook Legacy Flight program that the Navy does.

I think he might mean the Collings Foundation F-4D. This sounds more like the model of operations he is talking about. http://www.collingsfoundation.org/tx_f-4dphantom.htm "FenceCheck Is Run By Relatives of Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Thug Crew" O.K. .... --Rolf |
