Modern Marvels: Tomcat Sunset

[ZfrkS62]

Just got done watching it.

Goes through the history of the Navy's best known plane, from the F-111 and the problems that Northup-Grumman encountered and learned from to build the Mach 2.4 fear inducer All the way to it's retirement ceremony in September of this year.

712 built for the US Navy in it's 32 year career, plus (this i didn't know) 79 for Iran during the Nixon Administration.

During the retirement footage i think i got a little nostalgic seeing as this is the one plane that i've grown up admiring. I think i was 8 when i first saw it in Top Gun, and that X-mas, built the F-14 model. I think i'm going to go get another one and actually paint it this time

Anyone else see it?
