Some people have said it's wrong to put weapons on their Century Grim Reapers F-14 because it was a show bird only.
Down the road from me at the NAS Deland Museum (located at the Deland Airport) we have a F-14 in the same exact color scheme.
This a/c was not pulled out of a boneyard an painted in these colors either.
The a/c was flown in on it's own power in 2005 & retired from active service on the spot by the Navy during a big ceremony.
As far as I knew our F-14 also saw combat in the gulf prior to it's retirement.
If the CW model is a show bird because of it's paint scheme than what explains the F-14 in Deland?
Below are some pices I shot of #103 while on display last year, under those are pics of its arrival at the NAS Deland Museum from another site.
