Geocache Description:


When Grumman was building planes on Long Island, they were assembled in Bethpage and trucked to Calverton, where final assembly and flight tests were done. Chances are, if you lived on Long Island from the 1950s to the 1990s, you knew of a neighbor or family member that worked at Grumman, which was one of its largest employers.

The F-14 now outside the Northrop Grumman plant was the 711th of the 712 Tomcats Grumman built during the 1980s and 1990s. The F-14, the Navy's premier air-to-air fighter in those decades, was retired from active service in 2006.

Now this Tomcat has returned home, please take a moment to take a look. (visit link)

The cache is a small camoed lock-n-lock, with room for a log and small trinkets. There is a lottery ticket for the FTF! Good luck!
