"FELIX THE CAT" F-14D TOMCAT
The F-14 Tomcat ranks as one of the U.S. Navy's best and most modern combat aircraft. It was developed as the successor to the Phantom, which in its role as an interceptor proved out of date. With its characteristic swept wings, the deployment tasks of the F-14 are primarily securing and maintaining air supremacy. The board-assisted combat aircraft embarked on its prototype flight back in December 1970. Despite a number of spectacular crashes throughout the further flight trials, it was approved for active military service. It was already decided in 1973 to equip an F-14 with other engines. The F-14D emerged from the modernization programmed of the F-14A. Even today it is still described as a modern carrier-based weapons system and its long-range capabilities in particular make it an ideal protector of troops.
