The last U.S. F-14 Tomcat aircraft to fly a combat mission

Pictured here is the last U.S. F-14 Tomcat aircraft to fly a combat mission. It was photographed as it arrives on board Sherman Field at Naval Air Station Pensacola, Fla. The F-14D aircraft bureau number 161159 was assigned to the Black Lions of Fighter Squadron Two One three (VF-213), as part of Carrier Air Wing Eight (CVW-8), embarked aboard USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71). The aircraft will become a display aircraft at the National Museum of Naval Aviation. This is an official U.S.Navy photo, and appears in the articles F-14 Tomcat and VFA-213.

  • Oppose. It's just not a very interesting or beautiful image. --frothT C 06:02, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose. Not remarkable among aircraft photos (which are nearly universally attractive), and this one is at the absolute bare minimum resolution, which doesn't help. SnurksTC 08:45, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose As above. --Midnight Rider 20:16, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Support Agree that it's a little boring, but it's enc. as well. | AndonicO Talk | Sign Here 20:55, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose Not the best of wikipedia. HighInBC (Need help? Ask me) 21:11, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Support It would be too boring for me, though the way the exhaust distorts the background is oddly beautiful. Beyond that, it is relatively significant. --Lewk_of_Serthic contrib talk 01:35, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Don't vote support per nom if you don't even know what it means --frothT C 07:41, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose, not impressive enough. FPs are supposed to be the best that WP has to offer. - Mailer Diablo 11:13, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose. In complete vacuum, this image would probably make it, but it's fairly average when compared with the other free photographs of aircraft that are out there. GeeJo (t)⁄(c) • 23:41, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
