Cmdr. LaBranche Aviation Quotations

Everyone has worked very hard, pulled together and with purpose to ensure we retire this naval aviation icon appropriately and commensurate with its long and proud legacy.

From its inception, the Tomcat has been the icon of Naval Aviation with its striking appearance, speed, formidable lethality, and versatility. It is more capable today than at any other time during its existence because of the innovation, dedication, and tenacity of every maintainer and pilot who has ever been associated with it.
