+Anthony Truss What??? It's either an F-14 Tomcat, or an F-15 Eagle. But this pic is a Panavia Tornado. Used by the UK, Germany, Italy, and Saudi Arabia in three or four different roles.

So… What's it like being a wing wiper? Here's my history. From 13 to 18 I was a cadet in the Civil Air Patrol, 16 to 19 I was a commo puke (31U back them) in the Idaho Army National Guard. From there I transferred to the Navy, where I was an ABH (Aviation Boatswains Mate) directing aircraft around the flight deck on the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72).

+Timothy Baskett don't let it bother you shipmate, i spent my 8.5 yrs working on alot of antiqued old planes at first A4 Skyhawkes, A7 Corsairs, F4 Phantoms, then i hit the bigtime with F14 Tomcats and my last 4 yrs i got to work on the first of the F/A18 Hornets before they actually got accepted into the fleets, awww the good ole days, lol.
Panavia Tornado.
Tomcat?
I really don't know. Its all a guess to me.
+Jason ON The Tommy has larger intakes and twin tails.
Like I said, I really don't know.
+Jason ON When I was a kid, I had an F-14 Tomcat model and lost one of the tails. So I centered the other one and tried to pass it off as a Tornado.
Bad ass!
Tornado, UK fighter. I think 🙂
I was going to say Raptor but after looking at it better I know its not.
Sopwith Camel!
Yes, Tornado
F15 tomcat ?

Beware Max Luong: a Tornado is NOT a F-111!
+Will Gilpin. Bring back any memories?
Waiting for someone to say it's a MiG-23, 27 or a SU-24.

I wouldn't know, no one ever called me that. 🙂 The politically incorrect term at the time was "zoomie".
+Chris Goodwin That's alright. I've been called commo puke, and squid, so just about any derogatory comments usually won't bother me.
