kallend 1,623 #1 May 15, 2006 A ten-foot section of vertical stabilizer from a crashed F-14 washed up in Ireland after apparently traveling 4,900 miles from the crash site off Florida. Squadron insignia and serial numbers were still legible and the Navy confirmed the part came from the Tomcat that crashed in 2002... from AVweb... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
