The Tomcat was developed for the United States Naval Fighter Experimental (VFX) program following the collapse of the F-111B project. The F-14 was the first of the American teen-series fighters, which were designed incorporating the experience of air combat against MiG fighters during the Vietnam War. The F-14 first flew in December 1970 and made its first deployment in 1974. The F-14 served as the U.S. Naval aviation’s primary maritime air superiority fighter, fleet defense interceptor and tactical aerial reconnaissance platform. In the 1990s, it added the Low Altitude Navigation and Targeting Infrared for Night (LANTIRN) pod system and began performing precision ground-attack missions. The Tomcat was retired from the active fleet on 22 September 2006, having been supplanted by the Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet. It’s pretty awesome, I mean have you ever seen Top Gun?
