Fight’s On! Celebrate the Tomcat Sunset + 20

Tomcatters — light the burners and mark your calendars!

Join us September 17–20, 2026 in Virginia Beach, Virginia as we commemorate a milestone in naval aviation history: “Sunset +20” — twenty years since the F-14 Tomcat’s final flight. Two decades later, the legend still flies high in the stories we tell, the friendships we forged, and the pride of having served with the finest fleet defense fighter ever built.

This year’s reunion brings us to Fightertown East, in the heart of Tomcat country, surrounding the spectacular NAS Oceana Air Show featuring the Blue Angels. There is no better place to honor our aircraft, our heritage, and one another.

Reunion Highlights:

⚓ Lunch cruise along the Norfolk waterfront
— sea breeze, great food, and even better company.

🇺🇸 Gathering at the F-14 Memorial on the Virginia Beach Boardwalk
— time to reflect, remember, and honor our shared legacy.

✈️ Chalet access to the NAS Oceana Air Show
— premium viewing as the Blue Angels and other performers take to the skies.

🍻 Nightly socials
— reconnect with old shipmates and swap the sea stories that only get better with time.

🎉 Banquet Finale
— a celebratory capstone to an unforgettable weekend.

Most of all, this reunion is about reconnecting — with the squadron mates, maintainers, aircrew, ship’s company, and friends who shared the ready rooms, flight decks, and deployments that defined an era. Twenty years after sunset, the bond remains as strong as ever.

Rooms and event space are limited, so book early using this link to secure your spot. Don’t wait until the merge — make your move now!

Whether you were there from first flight to final trap, or served anywhere along the Tomcat’s legendary career, this is your reunion.

Fight’s On — and we’ll see you in Virginia Beach!
