Caption:
Only clearing the 16 foot clearance of an overpass by a few inches, an
F-14A Tomcat finishes the last stretch of 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. 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.
