yes on the USAF considering the Tom, as they were forced to by Congress. but buzz numbers were done by that point in time.

 

as to the Tomcat in AF plummage, i made a model when i was in Kosovo of a Tomcat in Illinois ANG markings(my home state) with Phoenixes mounted. Painted similar to the F-16 ADF. so i fully agree with it. as to the Illinois ANG, something to consider Mr Spinners :grin:

 

 

see how i get all nice when i would like something?:lol:

Actually a neat idea. According to Joe Baugher the USAF's main reason for declining the Tomcat was the price tag attached to it. Operating this would have been expansive for sure, not to mention there was the F-15 coming up.

The high costs also caused the lack of exports, although Grumman tried:

Quite some possibilites. Japanese Tomcats would be so cool, especially when busting Hawks during the attack on Pearl Harbor... :grin:

 

Is there a template available?
