If I remember correctly, once they retired f-14 they destroyed most of them appart from some that made their way to museums to prevent Iran from sourcing any spare parts.

Imo, the F-14 is easily one of the better looking jets from the Cold War (and even today, better looking than most)

Maverick were sending you to a country thats not specified as Iran in the movie, but still has f-14 tomcats, friends with china and wants to have nukes

Thank you Iranians for proving that the Phoenix missle was a good idea.

I think it’s a shame the F-14 isn’t used by the US Navy anymore. It was retired for budgetary reasons as such an expensive air superiority fighter wasn’t needed after the Cold War but it could have still been in service today with upgrades.

Long story short: There arent many left that are usable in iran, the numbers are getting lower all the time and since its a very outdated platform anyway, theres not much threat from that.

Trust me, no one who maintained tomcats wept when they left. They were a nightmare to keep flying.
