"By 1989, the large flash on the vertical tail, that had been part of VF-14's original markings for it's Tomcats, again became a standard part of the "Tophatters" markings. But in keeping with the low-visibility markings on the tactical paint scheme, the flash and its outline were different shades of gray. The top hat with its disc and outline remaind in the center of the flash. (U. S. Navy)" - Colors & Markings of U. S. Navy F-14 Tomcats, Part 1: Atlantic Coast Squadrons
