NORFOLK, Va. (AP) The officer in charge of an F-14 Tomcat fighter squadron assigned to the aircraft carrier USS John F. Kennedy was relieved of his command for an undisclosed off-duty incident in the Persian Gulf, the Navy said Monday.

Cmdr. Guy Maiden was relieved Sunday because of an incident during a recent port visit in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, said Mike Maus, spokesman for the U.S. Atlantic Fleet Naval Air Force, based in Norfolk. The Kennedy, based in Mayport, Fla., is deployed to the Persian Gulf supporting coalition forces in Iraq.

Maus said he could not give details of the incident because it is a personnel matter.

Maiden took command of VF-103, based at Oceana Naval Air Station in Virginia Beach, on Sept. 1, Maus said. He will be temporarily reassigned to duties in the United States.

Cmdr. David Landess was appointed to take charge of the squadron temporarily. He previously was its commanding officer.

Anyone ever notice that the scenein Top Gun where the flat spin occured was filmed over land but that he and Goose landed in the ocean.
Man that F-14 flat spun all the way from Nevada to the California coast has to be a world record....
