Tomcat?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"No. The F-14 is retired and was never a civilian-flyable aircraft. The US Navy retired it in 2006, and today the only operator is Iran, whose fleet is small, dwindling and disputed. There are no airworthy civilian Tomcats and no rides. But you can fly other legendary fighter jets with MiGFlug.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How fast was the F-14?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"About Mach 2.34 (around 2,485 km\/h) at altitude, thanks to its swing wings and, in later jets, GE F110 engines.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Why was the F-14 retired?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"It was expensive and maintenance-intensive to keep flying, and the multirole F\/A-18E\/F Super Hornet could do the fleet-defense and strike jobs more cheaply. The Navy retired the last Tomcats in 2006.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What was the AIM-54 Phoenix?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"A long-range (100-plus mile) air-to-air missile unique to the F-14, guided by the AWG-9 radar. Up to six could be fired at six targets at once - the Tomcat's signature weapon and the only such capability of its era.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What were the swing wings for?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"To fly well at every speed: spread for slow carrier landings and dogfighting, swept for a Mach 2 dash. A computer moved them automatically with speed.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Was it really the Top Gun jet?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Yes. The F-14 starred in Top Gun (1986) and returned in Top Gun: Maverick (2022), making it one of the most recognisable aircraft in the world.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Who still flies the F-14?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Only Iran, and only a handful. As of 2026 the fleet is dwindling and its exact status is disputed after Israeli airstrikes on Iran's Tomcat base.

In the 1960s the US Navy was tied into the joint TFX programme that produced the General Dynamics F-111; its naval variant, the <strong>F-111B<\/strong>, was meant to be the fleet\u2019s long-range missile-carrying interceptor. Overweight and hopeless off a carrier deck, the F-111B was cancelled in 1968. The Navy launched its own <strong>VFX<\/strong> competition, which Grumman won with its Model 303.<\/p>\n<p>Grumman built the airframe around the mission systems the Navy actually wanted: the <strong>Hughes AWG-9 radar<\/strong> and the <strong>AIM-54 Phoenix<\/strong> long-range missile, both inherited from the F-111B. The result was a large, twin-engine, two-seat carrier fighter with a <strong>variable-sweep \u201cswing\u201d wing<\/strong> \u2014 the feature that let it dogfight slow and cruise fast from the same airframe. Its Cold War job was <em>fleet air defense<\/em>: standing off from the carrier group and killing Soviet bombers and cruise missiles before they got in range.<\/p>\n<p>First flown on <strong>21 December 1970<\/strong>, the Tomcat entered US Navy service in <strong>1974<\/strong> (VF-1 and VF-2 aboard USS Enterprise). Around <strong>712<\/strong> were built \u2014 the troubled TF30-engined F-14A, the re-engined F-14B, and the fully modernised F-14D \u201cSuper Tomcat.\u201d The Navy retired the type in <strong>2006<\/strong>. Its only export customer was Imperial Iran under the Shah, and <strong>Iran remains the F-14\u2019s only remaining operator<\/strong> \u2014 a dwindling, disputed fleet in 2026.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pull\">A single Tomcat could track 24 targets and fire six Phoenix missiles at six of them at once \u2014 a flying missile battery with a reach no other fighter matched for decades.<cite><b>The longest reach in the sky<\/b> \u2014 the AWG-9 and the AIM-54 Phoenix<\/cite><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"deepset\">\n<details class=\"deep\">\n<summary><span class=\"no\">01<\/span><span class=\"t\">The F-14 Tomcat\u2019s AWG-9 and AIM-54 Phoenix: the fighter that killed what it could barely see<\/span><\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">\n<p>No fighter before or arguably since matched the Tomcat\u2019s fleet-defense reach. The Hughes <strong>AN\/AWG-9<\/strong> was a giant pulse-Doppler radar that could <strong>track up to 24 targets<\/strong> in track-while-scan and cue <strong>six AIM-54 Phoenix missiles against six different targets at once<\/strong>. The Phoenix flew <strong>over 100 miles<\/strong>, zoom-climbing to the edge of space before diving on its target \u2014 a weapon built to swat down Soviet bombers and cruise missiles far beyond visual range, long before they threatened the carrier. The AWG-9 could pick up bomber-sized targets at 150-plus nautical miles.<\/p>\n<p>In a celebrated 1970s test, a single F-14 salvoed six Phoenix missiles at six drones and hit most in one pass. The upgraded <strong>APG-71<\/strong> radar of the F-14D pushed detection ranges further still. This sensor-and-shooter combination \u2014 not raw agility \u2014 was the Tomcat\u2019s real superpower, and the AIM-54 remained unique to the F-14 for its entire career.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<hr class=\"divider\">\n<section>\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<div class=\"kicker\">Design &amp; Engineering<\/div>\n<h2>What makes the F-14 special<\/h2>\n<div class=\"cards3\">\n<div class=\"ecard\">\n<div class=\"num\">01<\/div>\n<h3>The swing wing<\/h3>\n<p>The Tomcat\u2019s wings pivoted from about <strong>20\u00b0 spread<\/strong> for slow carrier approaches and dogfighting to about <strong>68\u00b0 fully swept<\/strong> for supersonic dash.

Each AIM-54 climbed above 80,000&nbsp;ft and dived on its target from more than 100 miles out. It was designed to break up massed Soviet bomber and cruise-missile raids far from the fleet, and its only combat use came in Iranian hands during the Iran\u2013Iraq War.

The Navy retired the last Tomcats in 2006.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What was the AIM-54 Phoenix?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">A long-range (100+ mile) air-to-air missile unique to the F-14, guided by the AWG-9 radar. Up to six could be fired at six targets at once \u2014 the Tomcat\u2019s signature weapon and the only such capability of its era.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What were the swing wings for?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">To fly well at every speed: spread for slow carrier landings and dogfighting, swept for a Mach 2 dash. A computer moved them automatically with speed \u2014 the pilot rarely touched them.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Was it really the Top Gun jet?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">Yes \u2014 the F-14 starred in <em>Top Gun<\/em> (1986) and returned in <em>Top Gun: Maverick<\/em> (2022), making it one of the most recognisable aircraft in the world.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Who still flies the F-14?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"a\">Only Iran, and only a handful.
