Fk yeah these pics rock.

It is one of the saddest thing's the navy has ever done IMO. There have been Grumman birds on the flight deck since the 30s. Its a real shame that its all ending for them. The Tomcat is the ****, and always will be. Big, bad, and sexy as hell.

Sad sad sad.

What are the Tomcat back seaters going to do now with no planes to fly in?
