Photo Report : Jolly Rogers Home from Final Tomcat Cruise

JOLLY ROGERS FINAL TOMCAT CRUISE

All pictures by Gerry Clarke

In December 2004 US Navy fighter squadron VF-103 Jolly Rogers returned home from their final cruise with the Grumman F-14 Tomcat. Gerry Clarke took the following photos on their return at NAS Oceana.

The Jolly Rogers have now exchanged their legacy Tomcat for Boeing's F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, the US Navy's most modern combat jet. The squadron has been redesignated VFA-103.
