December 21st 47 years ago marks the birth of our beloved F-14 ” Tomcat”. F-14 would be “Grumman Ironwork’s” last Navy Fighters of our time. An Iconic symbol of Naval Aviation at its prime when “Maverick ” and “Goose” made their debut in the 1980s movie “Top Gun” and the mostly forgotten ” The Final Countdown” where brand new F-14A from VF-84 ” Jolly Rogers” was splashing A6M2 Zeros in this movie starring Kurt Douglas and Martin Sheen on board CVN-68 USS Nimitz.
For this 47th Birthday Dedication on for the Tomcat, I would like to post some of the Tomcat moments in Photography of vivid pictures showing the hay day of this magnificent machine. Tomcat may have been retired back in 2006, but her legend will continue. Tomcat Forever!!
