POSTED: Thursday, September 28, 2006
OPA-LOCKA, Fla. -- The last active F-14 Tomcat fighter jet arrived at Opa-locka Executive Airport on Thursday for what was likely its final flight.The F-14 was piloted from Naval Air Station Oceana in Virginia to make its home at the Wings Over Miami Air Museum at Kendall-Tamiami Executive Airport. The runway at Kendall-Tamiami Executive Airport was too short for the jet to land, which is why it arrived in Opa-locka instead.The F-14 Tomcat, made popular in the movie "Top Gun," has been retired and replaced by the F/A-18 Super Hornet, according to the U.S. Navy.The fighter jet will be dismantled and loaded on a truck that will take it to the museum for reassembly. It will be on display at the museum in late October.
