When FITRON THIRTYONE’s Tomcatters traded their F-4B’s for the much improved F-4J’s, they joined the colorful unit markings that pervaded Naval Aviation in the 1970’s. With a bright red tail and arrow on the spine, AC 106 proudly wears the unit’s bomb wielding Felix the cat patch on her intake.
She is configured for a MIGCAP mission with a full load of 4 x AIM-7E’s and AIM-9G’s plus three external wing tanks. On 21 June, 1972, as the conflict was in it’s final year, 157307 would score CF 31’s only MiG kill when CDR Sam Flynn and Lt William John shot down a MiG 21 with an AIM-9.
