REQ: Point Mugu 1997

Post by Richard from Rotterdam »

Hi all,

While clearing out some cupboards I came across some old logbooks, short trip through memory lane :wink: .

Some partial logs I made back in the day have never been filled in and I am now starting to find some answers. One is for an F-14 of VX-9 which I saw at Point Mugu late September 1997. It was the only thing flying that day apart from a Convair 580 of Renown Aviation but unfortunately I have never traced the BuNo of this Tomcat. Now my hope is that someone might fill in the blank for me!

It concerns VX-9 F-14 with modex XF-251. The closest I have come to its identity is F-14D 163414, which was noted with this modex a year later.

So if you can help me with this one, it will be well appreciated! :worship:

Thanks in advance!

Richard.
