F-14A Tomcat VF 154 "Black Knights" CVW 5 USS Kitty Hawk Print
Images are reduced fidelity for copyright protection.
One of the Tomcat’s significant roles during her career was reconnaissance and for that role, her primary tool was the TARPS pod. Carried in the tunnel between the engines on station 5, the TARPS pod is pretty well hidden from view.
The F-14A’s of VF 154 “Black Knights” were TARPS capable when delivered and their CAG jet NJ 100 is show ready for a TARPS sortie about USS Kitty Hawk. Named “Dirk,” and wearing a special tail graphic based on their patch, she carries a pair of AIM-7M’s and AIM-9M’s along with the 20mm cannon and chaff and flares for self-protection and self-escort. 161621 also carries the ubiquitous external tanks always carried when on cruise.
Any Fighter Studios print can be customized with different squadron marking, different store configurations, names on the nose or canopy rail. To get yours started, click Personalized Print for more information or click Email with questions.
