Model History and Information: VF-41, the Black Aces, was one of the early U.S. Navy F-14 squadrons and operated from the carrier USS Nimitz. In 1978 the Tomcat was still a relatively new fleet-defence fighter, valued for its radar, Phoenix missile system and variable-sweep wings. BuNo 160388 in VF-41 markings captures the type before its later strike role and popular culture associations came to dominate how many people remembered it. The named serial, unit, date and finish on this model identify the individual historical subject represented: F-14A "Tomcat" 160388, VF-41"Black Aces", USS Nimitz, 1978.
