Grumman F-14 Tomcat Tribute
A short tribute to one of the most awesome combat jet of our time, the Grumman F-14 Tomcat.
A video specially for Tomcat Fans. Any time Baby!!!
A brief History of the Tomcat
The Grumman F-14 Tomcat is a supersonic, twin-engine, two-seat, variable geometry wing aircraft. The F-14 was the United States Navy's primary maritime air superiority fighter, fleet defense interceptor and tactical reconnaissance platform from 1974 to 2006. It later performed precision strike missions once it was integrated with LANTIRN.It was developed after the collapse of the F-111B project, and was the first of the American teen-series fighters which were designed incorporating the experience of air combat in Vietnam against MiGs.
It entered service in 1972 with the U.S. Navy, replacing the F-4 Phantom II. It was later exported to the Imperial Iranian Air Force in 1976, during a time when the US still had good relations with Iran. It was retired from the U.S. Navy fleet on 22 September 2006, having been replaced by the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet. As of 2007, it remains in service only with the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force.

Great movie SAS but did the maker had to put the pictures in of the scrapping...
IMO after the retirement they had to make a team to do some airshows. I reckon it would make some good money too and attract far more people than the blue angels... the D series weren't that old and maintenace thirsty....
just my 2cents...

I am totally agree whit You. F-14 in airshows would be huge crowd magnetic. In fact I am pretty suprised and disappointed why nothing has happend on that field. There are lots of people who hasn't got a chance to see Tomcat in the air. Money is not the problem and there is plenty ex. Tomcat mechanics who would maintain Tomcat for free.
you're absolutely right Wolfpack !
