+DaisyChain Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 I found a geocoin with F-14 Tomcat on it. It's a fighter jet. It's not activated. Does anyone know the story behind this coin? It looks so interesting, there has to be a story. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
+Shilo Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 They were made by Hogwild stuff. They were made in honor of the F-14 after the military decommissioned them a couple years ago. The exact person who had them made slips my memory at the moment. Maybe someone else can chime in. Quote Link to comment

The exact person who had them made slips my memory at the moment. Maybe someone else can chime in. That explains the date I failed to mention. December 1970 - September 2006 or 2008 (I can't read the small print). Thank you! Quote Link to comment
+The Ravens Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Is the coin cut in the shape of a F-14 or is it round with the nose jet extending past the coins edge? Quote Link to comment
+Great Scott! Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Is it this coin? The geocacher's name along the fuselage reads: tomcatATgod Quote Link to comment
+Ashallond Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 The national guard base in my town had F-14's. The base was to be closed, but after VIGOROUS lobbying, the base was kept open, and they were re-assigned A-10 Warthogs. Quote Link to comment

From Tomcats to Warthogs- well, at least the Base stayed open Quote Link to comment
