I have this really "COOL" idea for Oceana this year, and it involves the Cat Flight. I think they should give the F-14 Tomcat a great exit flight out, and retire this Great Cat. Think of this, a F4F Wildcat, F6F Hellcat, F8F Bearcat, and a F-14 Tomcat. Put "Snort" in the F-14 make a few fly-bys with The Cat Flight, have the F-14 pull up for a retirement flight, make a fly-by, have the WWII Cat Flight reform with the New F/A-18 Super Hornet, and make a flyby while the F-14 is on the landing roll out..!!!

Sounds great BB, but why leave F3F, F7F, or even F9F out of the fun? :wink:
