sadly no longer in service with the US NAVY. THe only time we'll ever here about the tomcat is when one is shot down by a US fighter plane.

Thats if Iran can even get them in the air to begin with! So sad to think of it tho.

I had the privilege of living very close to then NAS Miramar, during the Top Gun era there. So seeing and hearing F-14's was a daily thing! Best part was when a carrier would come into home port, and all the aircraft would fly in one huge formation and land at Miramar. Now that was a sight!

Aha! Im guessing they stored all the US NAVY ones somewhere just in case? Is there any still flying in the US?
