Caption:
A line of traffic forms behind an F-14A Tomcat as it is transported the
19.5 miles from San Angelo Regional Airport to Goodfellow Air Force
Base, Texas at a rate of 5 MPH after being decommissioned by the
Navy. Every couple of miles cars would be directed by San Angelo
Police Department Escorts to help relieve the traffic build up. This
F-14A was the first F-14A to be decommissioned by the Navy and was
bought by Goodfellow AFB for $20,000 to be used for training by the
312th Training Squadron's Fire Training Academy. The plane's
engines, weapons, and related systems had to be removed before
transport to Goodfellow AFB and a few safety alterations will have to
be made for the plane to be used for training.
