1980 - Definitely not a Royal Mace bird but a very cool pic. This F-14 Tomcat from the USS Constellation made a couple of high speed passes by us as part of an airshow as we were being relieved from "Gonzo" station in the Indian Ocean. This guy put on quite a show. He was actually below our flight deck as he went by, notice the wake in the water. (Image Source - Bob Dorais)
