Lion 204 CVN71 Sunet 180106c - a photo on Flickriver

            161159/AJ-204 Grumman F-14D Tomcat, VF-213 Black Lions, Oceana Naval Air Station, Carrier Air Wing 8, CVN-71 USS Theodore Roosevelt, United States Navy. 

'Lion 204' being tended to by her plane captain, prior to the next mission.
One of the shots we wanted prior to the embark, were some fitting Tomcat sunset images. We got really lucky as the boat did a 180, straight after the final daylight mission of the day. Meaning we got excaly what we were after. A Tomcat sunset, taken during the Tomcats operational sunset. What a jet.
