We saw not one but two fighter jets as we stopped by Father Crowley Point for the second time as we left Death Valley. Can you help identify what kind of fighter plane it is? Thanks!
Well, the Sywell 2024 airshow certainly felt like a breath of fresh air for the UK airshow scene. Here is a quick edit of one of the highlights from the show - a restored First World War Fokker D.VII, disassembled and transported to the show by road all the way from Sweden, before re-assembly and a display with Stu Goldspink at the controls.
Restored Supermarine Spitfire XVI (1945) and Curtiss P-40N Kittyhawk (1943) at Vintage Wings of Canada in Gatineau, Quebec, Canada.
The Supermarine Spitfire XVI on the left was manufactured in August 1945 at the Supermarine works of Vickers-Armstrong Ltd., England. It bears the serial number SL721 and is registered under the call sign C-GVZB. Over 22,000 Spitfires were built in nearly 30 variants during World War II.
The Curtiss P-40N Kittyhawk on the right was manufactured in 1943 by the Curtiss-Wright Corporation in Buffalo, New York, U.S.A. It bears the serial number 399 and is registered under the call sign C-FVWC. Close to 14,000 Kittyhawks and their variants were built during World War II.
I want to thank fellow Flickr member, Mark Sherwood, for correcting me regarding the Kittyhawk, which I originally wrongly identified as being a Hawker Hurricane. Thank you, Mark!
The Grumman F-14 Tomcat is a supersonic, twin-engine, variable swept-wing, two-seat strike fighter used by the U.S. Navy from 1974 to 2006. The aircraft was designed for air combat in all weather conditions, in day or night missions. With its advanced weapons control system, the Tomcat can track up to 24 targets and attack 6 enemies simultaneously with Phoenix AIM-54A missiles. For over three decades, the four variants of the F-14 Tomcat served as the U.S. Navy’s primary air superiority fighter, fleet defense interceptor and tactical reconnaissance platform.
Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum’s F-14D, Bureau Number 163904, rolled off the Grumman Iron Works production line on Long Island, New York in April 1991. It was one of 37 built as production model F-14Ds and not converted from an F-14A. It first served at NAS Miramar with VF-11 Red Rippers. It finished its career with VF-31 Tomcatters, based out of NAS Oceana, where it participated in the final flight ceremonies of the Tomcat.
This F-14D was loaded aboard the USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD-6) at San Diego and delivered to Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum on June 27, 2008.
