The Sundowners by Wilfred Hardy.
Grumman F-14 Tomcat serving with VF-111 Sundowners. The Sundowner name and insignia was derived in 1942 when the squadron was flying Grumman F4F-4 Wildcats out of Hawaii during training - a wealthy couple who adopted the fighter pilots designed the insignia with Wildcats shooting down a Rising Sun. The Sundowners began flying the F-14 in 1978, and served aboard the aircraft carriers U.S.S. Kitty Hawk, Carl Vinson, Ranger and Abraham Lincoln.

Into the Throne Room of God by William S Phillips.
Thunderstorms can be unpredictable. Sometimes they'll block an aircraft's way with curtain of lightning. Other times, you can fly through holes in the storm wall and into a strange, beautiful cloud cathedral. Here an F-14 is in this quiet, awesome area surrounded by the vast power of thunderstorms. This is God's throne room - where, occasionally, fighter pilots and artists pay their respects.

Grumman Aircraft has had a long tradition of providing rugged aircraft for naval aviators. These Grumman planes were all named Cats. The F-14 Tomcat, the latest in the long line of Grumman carrier cats, evolved from Grummans involvement as a subcontractor in the ill-fated TFX development program. Ever since the WW II Battle of Midway, the Navy has been concerned about the vulnerability of its carriers to attack. Super carriers, the largest mobile machines ever developed by mankind, are vulnerable to attack from ground, sea or air-launched missiles. To protect its carriers, the Navy has long recognized the critical need for high speed, long-range, heavily-armed, interceptors. The first two jet-powered aircraft to fill this role were the F-8 Crusader and the F-4 Phantom II. The F-14 Tomcat was developed to provide an improved interceptor capable of carrying the heavier Phoenix missile, and advanced avionics. The first Tomcat prototype flew on December 21, 1970. By late 1972 full scale .........
