I always have been fascinated by the Tomcat, actually ever since I saw the movie
"The Final Countdown" (not a great movie in my opinion, but great aircraft scenes)
I have tried to pay homage to the Tomcat by drawing every paint scheme it ever had, on every carrier
As you can realize, this is an long task, and it will probably take forever, but I will enjoy
every minute of it. I hope other tomcat lovers will like it too.
My first finished drawings are the two sister squadrons VF-41 and VF-84 from the USS Nimitz and USS Roosevelt.
