to their homeport of Naval Air Station Oceana. VF-213 and VF-31 are
completing their final deployment flying the F-14 Tomcat. For the past
30 years, the F-14 Tomcat has assured U.S. air superiority, playing a
key role in ensuring victory and preserving peace around the world. The

the inventory in September of 2006. U.S. Navy photo by Photographer's
