Century Wings F-14A Tomcat, USN VF-84 Jolly Rogers, AJ201, USS Nimitz, 1978 Diecast Model Aircraft 590984 1/72 The Grumman F-14 Tomcat is a supersonic, twin-engine, two-seat, variable geometry wing aircraft. The F-14 was the United States Navy's primary maritime air superiority fighter, fleet defense interceptor and tactical reconnaissance platform from 1974 to 2006. It later performed precision strike missions once it was integrated with LANTIRN. It was developed after the collapse of the F-111B project, and was the first of the American teen-series fighters which were designed incorporating the experience of air combat in Vietnam against MiGs. It was first flown on December 21st, 1970 and entered service in 1972 with the U.S. Navy replacing the F-4 Phantom II. It was later exported to the Imperial Iranian Air Force in 1976, during a time when the US still had good relations with Iran. It was retired from the U.S. Navy fleet on 22 September 2006, having been replaced by the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet. As of 2007, it remains in service only with the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force. This beautiful rendition of the famous Jolly Roger's F-14 Tomcat can be configured for ground or "in-flight" display. Furthermore, the wings can be positioned in varying levels of sweep position. !THIS ITEM IS IN STOCK AND READY TO SHIP! FREE SHIPPING DISCOUNT ON THIS ITEM!!! Use Promotion Code: blue1720
