Panache 1/72 US F-14A Tom Cat - Black Aces
Panache 1/72 U.S. F14A Tom Cat-Black Aces
On the 19th of August, 1981, two VF-41 aircraft flying a combat air patrol over the Gulf of Sidra were intercepted then fired upon by two Libyan Su-22 Fitters. The F-14's were able to maneuver into firing positions and downed both Fitters.
This incident marked the first time the F-14 had been used in air-to-air combat. 1981 was also the first year in which the Black Aces won the COMNAVAIRLANT Battle "E", signifying them as the most efficient squadron in the Atlantic Fleet. VF-41 also earned this award in 1985 and 1989. Flying legendary Tomcat fighters, the Black Aces Fighting Forty-One was awarded the 1999 RACM Clarence Wade McCluskey Award for the Best Attack Squadron.
