F-14 is one of most beautiful jets ever created! I always loved it. Even today, i have a model of it right beside me.

Insane how 30+ year old airframes still look soo gorgeous and modern.

The F-14 was big, fast, powerful, and it just plain looked GOOD. It was one of those warplanes that really made you want to be a naval aviator! Bar none, my all time favorite aircraft.

I still cant believe my dad flew this beautiful beast for 20 years.

For me is the Speed, Phoenix missiles and the Looks that makes the F-14 the Big Boss!

The F14 was the late 60s musclecar of the fighter jet world. Beautiful, fast, and just looked badass

Too Expensive to Maintain?
Ow yea, that F35b is a real money saver!

I was the radar shop supervisor in VF-301 At Miramar NAS from 86 to 88. Helluva bird.

My time I served in the Navy & worked on Tomcats was a thing to be desired & just mesmerizing! The things I seen the dog fighting aircrafts could was a thing of beauty! I grew up loving the movie Too Gun then I had my dream come true to be able to work around & maintenance these fighter bets! They are without a doubt the best dog fighting jet ever created by the Navy! Watching that tomcat break the sound barrier was so awesome! That sonic boom is a thing of beauty!

I was part of the first Navy team to help bring the F-14 into the Navy in 1972. Went to Hughes Aircraft in LA, then to VX-4 at Point Mugu. Loved the Tomcat. Ended my Navy career in 1977 with VF-143 - The Tomcat 'Pukin Dogs'.

Versatile extremely powerful and long range jet. . A couple at an airshow made my jaw drop when they did a fly by and then straight up and out of sigh in seconds.

Imagine it with modern Avionics and the ability to Supercruise.

I am a navy vet, and the F14 tomcat was always an amazing machine.

The only thing to say about F-14 Tomcat is that---"TOP GUN"

[Katharine]

My dad bought me a toy Tomcat from an Air Force Museum when I was a kid. I just thought it was so cool that the wings could move forward. Glad to know a little more about these planes.

[arthurwright]

…and years later, the Tomcat still has qualities that are unmatched with anything we have today. Ironically, the threat we thought was over to allow its demise is rising in the East once more!

[frtknokr]

I love the Tomcat. My name is Tom and I took a real interest in aviation due to the "Top Gun" movie. I joined the Marine Corps and worked on the KC -130 refueler during my enlistment.

When I was younger my favorite fighter was the F-16. But now I have absolutely fallen in love with the F-14. 🥰
