This is one of the many "transition" patches created for the Tomcat squadrons that went to Hornet squadrons showing the "Rhino" in the Felix patch and with the Felix stance.

When the A-6E Intruders were decommissioned, the long-range strike mission was scrubbed. Since the Hornet is considered "medium range" (at best), the Tomcat had to pick up the role of the medium range bomber. It was retrofitted with Air-to-Ground software in order for the Tomcat to become the "Bombcat" and became the multi-role "strike fighter".

This is the 1992-1993 Med Cruise patch for the 1st F-14A Tomcat cruise carrying Mk-82 500 pound bombs. I don't know which squadron it is, but says "Any Target Baby" along the bottom. If anyone has any amplifying info.........

This patch was created for Operation Desert Storm. It states "Hey Saddam...Send More MiGs" along the top and "Desert Storm Tomcats" along the bottom.

This is the VF-2 Bounty Hunter's "Last Tomcat Cruise" patch created for their final cruise onboard the USS Constellation (CV-64). This is a rare patch, and I was only able to pick up a few direct from the squadron, so once these are gone, that's probably all I'll be able to get.

This is the 1992 Operation Southern Watch cruise patch for the VF-2 Bounty Hunters. Along the top, it says "Southern Watch", "TARPS", and the dates "17 Sep 92" and "02 Dec 92". Along the bottom, it says "The Only Show in Town" and "Bounty Hunters". Scan isn't very good, but the patch is nice. Was only able to get a few dozen of these, so they will probably go fast.

This is the large version of the "Bounty Time, Baby" skull patch for the VF-2 Bounty Hunters squadron. It shows the "death skull" watching you, and has their coloring in the stripes behind it and the lower half of the yellow fresnal lens in the background. Awesome patch!
