I was lucky enough to get some great pics of 100 and 102 departing Oceana for the final time yesterday.  I was going to post them here, but for some reason my technically challenged brain can't seem to solve, I can't get the Attach Files option to appear.  Check out the Tomcat Photos thread at Tomcat Sunset to see the pics.  Hope you all enjoy them.

i just have to say i think it was amazing how everyone made an effort to go well out of their way to see a Cat one last time. That was me a week ago....anyway, great shots all. I have definitely had a beer or two (or 10) tonight in honor of the big cat. good luck to everyone out on Long Island next week!

What a couple of Great Days!!!!! Seeing one of the Greatest Aircraft in History make its final flights was an outstanding memory...

Thank you all for welcoming myself to the "club" and a big shout out for those that kept us up to date on the movements of the Mighty Cat...Couldn't have experienced this without you all. Damon, thx again for the pic

 On the Beach at NI, We saw several Lears with targets, a Beech 18, a C-2, 2 Navy F-5E's VFC-12 (?) and a Gulfstream 1 with pods...

The Tomcat did a regular brake over the field them landed. I don't have a great camera so I shot 8mm video-I'll try to find a way to put it online

FELIX 11 landing for the final time on runway 29 at NAS North Island.
Spent the day with Skys7 and Raybo, and thanks again to Raybo for getting us in the spot to shoot.

Gary,

a great shot capturing a sad moment in aviation history.

I just noticed that there are crewnames on Felix 102. On the photos I've seen recently there were no crew names. Does anyone have info about this thing? When it was applied? Are there the original AJ 102 crew names, or something else?
