That scene !!!
I always liked the F-14 in Jolly Rogers colors, but I liked those colors better when they were flying F-4s.
When VF-84 was decommissioned in 1995 VF-103 dropped the name "Sluggers" and took on the name "Jolly Rogers". VF-103 is now VFA-103. They fly Super Hornets from the IKE.

VF-84 Phantoms operate from the USS Independence CVA-62 circa 1960
By the close of 1974, VF-84 was receiving the F-4N version of the Phantom. They took the F-4N on their final cruise aboard the USS Franklin D. Roosevelt with the Phantom, starting on 3 January 1975, and ending on 16 July. The color scheme was brightened by the use of white radomes. (CVA-42)

Very good video armored diplomacy, thank you!
In comparison with the Hornet, Tomcat looks in the design as a more advanced generation. I believe for a person who does not have any clue about aircrafts he could say by looking this photo that Tomcat is the new and avanced one.
I always loved this scene from the final countdown.
Thank you guys for pics and info, I´m glad you liked it !Very good video armored diplomacy, thank you!
