The Grumman F-14 Tomcat is a twin-engine, variable-sweep
wing fighter capable of supersonic flight. The aircraft is crewed by a pilot
and radar intercept officer who share the tasks of navigation, target
acquisition, ECM, and weapons usage. The Tomcat was operated by the United
States Navy and the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force. The name “Tomcat” is
said to come from the call-sign used by Vice Admiral Thomas Connolly which
conformed to the USN tradition of giving Grumman aircraft feline names.
In 1999 VF-14 “Tophatters” marked the 80th year of
continuous active service, making them the USN’s oldest continuous active duty
squadron. F-14A 162698 was sent to VF-14 and given the 80th Anniversary paint
scheme. In December 2001 the aircraft was transferred to AMARC.
