Kovový model lietadla.
The Grumman F-14 Tomcat is a twin-engine, variable sweep wings capable of supersonic flight.
The aircraft is crewed by a Pilot and a 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 only. 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 1989 VF-24 “Fighting Renegades” onboard the USS Nimitz had been at sea and upon
returning to San Diego in August the squadron began to re-equip with the F-14B making them the
first Pacific Fleet Fighter Squadron to do this. Originally thought to be an interim aircraft before
receiving the F-14D it turned out that a decision was made to end the F-14D acquisitions and
equip Pacific Fleet squadrons with F-14As and remaining F-14Ds then move all F-14Bs to the
Atlantic Fleet. This aircraft is on display at the Estrella Warbird Museum.
