The Grumman F-14 Tomcat is an US supersonic, twin-engine, two-seat, twin-tail, variable-sweep wing fighter aircraft.
Tomcat was the first U.S. jet fighter with twin tails. It was developed for the United States Navy’s Naval Fighter Experimental (VFX) program after the collapse of the F-111B project.
The F-14 was the first of the American Teen Series fighters, which were designed incorporating air combat experience against MiG fighters during the Vietnam War.
Navy Top Gun Pilot Grant Begley shares personal stories and provides a walk-around of the F-14 Tomcat at the Western Museum of Flight.
