Honoring the Aviators of the F-14 Tomcat

To the world, the F-14 Tomcat was a symbol of strength—a twin-tailed titan that commanded the carrier deck and the open skies. But to those of us who stood on the flight line, who lock-wired on its jet engines and signaled its launches, it was more than an aircraft. It was a shared responsibility.

Today, I pause to honor the 67 pilots and radar intercept officers who gave their last full measure of devotion while operating this aircraft.
