He probably had to increase the radius of the spinner to get it through the C&U Regulations, but the rest of it is so large it wouldn't be deemed a hazard.

"What if... The Blue Angels had flown the F-14 Tomcat? 📷:-) More pictures of my fictional F-14D Tomcat "Blue Angels" in scale 1/144. Basekit is from Trumpeter, some parts are from Revell, scratchbuild flaps and other details. Decals are a mix from different manufacturers, yellow parts of the fuselage are airbrushed. Hope you enjoy! "

That's a 'Shoulda been real' model if ever I saw one!

[TheChronicOne]

Yeah!!! I understand the whole "costs" aspect of it and what not but what they COULD have done is just have a single Tomcat (and one back up, naturally) to do solo stuff and perhaps even join in with the Hornets for a couple maneuvers. I bet it would have been wildly popular.

Though IIRC the Navy pilots tend to be either Hornet or Tomcat people - nothing in between, and for the Hornet folk to have given any concessions of time or airshow space to a Tomcat would have been unthinkable... 

But it would have made for an impressive display.

I saw the Angels do their thing in their F-4J period and they were truly AWESOME! 

Loud and frightening were only two of the descriptive words.....

Ha!!!  I didn't know they had beef like that. That's funny.

Buddy of mine was a wrench turner in VF-84.  He'd always say "Why send a bug to do a Cat's job" when discussing Tomcat v Hornet

[TheChronicOne]

No doubt!    I'm in team Tomcat, for sure.  It could very well be my favorite fighter jet. (I like Hornets, too though....  ) This has me wanting to build one all of a sudden.
