Mock-up of the Grumman F-14A Tomcat for the U.S. Navy's Naval Fighter Experimental (VFX) program. Grumman was selected over McDonnell Douglas, General Dynamics, North American Rockwell and Vought for the F-14 and was awarded the contract in January 1969.
"The name 'Tomcat' was partially chosen to pay tribute to Admiral Thomas F. Connolly, as the nickname 'Tom's Cat' had already been widely used within the program during development to reflect Connolly's involvement, and now the moniker was adapted into an official name in line with the Grumman tradition of giving its fighter aircraft feline names. Changing it to Tomcat associated the aircraft with the previous Grumman aircraft Wildcat, Hellcat, Tigercat, and Bearcat propeller fighters along with the Panther, Cougar, and Tiger jet fighters. Other names considered were Alley Cat (considered inappropriate due to sexual connotations) and Seacat."
712 F-14s were built at Grumman's Calverton, Long Island, New York facility.

By Deirdre Bardolf and Susan Edelman
A Brooklyn parent advisory board promoted and organized a student walkout for Palestinians this week — a clear violation of state regulations, outraged critics told The Post.
The Community Education Council for District 14, which covers ultra-liberal Williamsburg and Greenpoint, used its platform to encourage the 700-student protest involving 100 schools — and even shared resources including antisemitic signs proclaiming, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.”
Recommended chants included, “Resistance is justified when people are occupied” and “Say it loud, say it clear, we don’t want Zionists here!”
Students protesting on Thursday near Franklin Delano Roosevelt High School in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, were captured on video yelling, “F–k the Jews!”
Jewish students were horrified.
One Fort Hamilton High School mom said her daughter didn’t go to school Friday out of fear.
When the mom called the school, an administrator told her it’s “complicated.”

i love the idea that fourteen got told to sit in the subcount and just did not complain whatsoever the whole time. they told him to go in there and he was like “ok :)” and literally just stood there barely breathing and only blinking once a day. his line in the new special was the first thing he had said or even thought in months

Let the video speak for itself…
After a little over 2 hours this is one of my best artworks I’ve ever done and I’m really proud of myself because of it, humans are my weakness in art and I am honestly just amazed that I did this. I hope that you all love this, it’s took a long time to draw and edit this video, more miraculous fanart coming soon 💗🐞🐈⬛
Edit- Thank you all so much for the love you’ve given me because of this silly little drawing honestly 😭 especially because I’m just 13 and not a professional at all at drawing so again just thank you so much for the support you’ve given me, it means the world to me 💗❤️🩹
