    My favourite plane is the Tomcat. I really enjoyed looking at all the information that you have gathered on the tomcat.

    Howdy, I am Joshua Mitchell. I like the F-14 Tomcat so much I want to fly it when I'm older. I collect F-14 Tomcat stuff. If you've seen Top Gun my favorite charactor is "Maverick". That is why people call me " Maverick".

    You didn't mention that a S-3 "Hoover" from VS-22 with a single pilot an FBI agent and a captured terrorist flew the longest recorded non-stop flight from Egypt back to the U.S.utilizing inflight refueling. This was done to keep the aircraft from landing and being detained by a particular government. Thought you might want to verify and add this to your information. I had photos obtained from the Tarps Bird over Lebanon while under fire from AAA sites. It was a hell of a image. I have since lost it, but I'm sure with a little digging you could probably find a copy.

    Enjoyed your F-14 website. Worked at Grumman for a quarter century and was on the F-14 Program on two different occasions. It's a GREAT bird! Now there's an upgrade program in work at Jacksonville, Florida. Anft does appear to be unique, but not exclusive. Found two in Baltimore, MD. One is Michael at where he is a staff writer. Enjoyed seeing your "new" private plane. I have a home in Fussen called Neuschwanstein. Good luck.

Jeremy Chan Dustin Smith

    Hi again, I agree that the Hornet is not the best plane to replace the tomcat. I don't know why they want to replace it in the first place. The Phoenix missle is by far the best lng range air to air missle. And also the "FIRE AND FORGET" helps alot. I am extremely mad that they are going to replace it. When they replace it I will still hold it number on in my book of fighters!

    I just wanted you to no that I am also a F-14 freak. And I really enjoy your website. When I grow up I'm going to fly one. Good job keep up the good work.

    Dear Torsten, What a wonderful site! I am a 3D modeller and animator, and I recently had to build the F-14 tomcat - you're site was just the thing for reference mat'l, and it's thanks to you that my model now has such details as functioning intake ramps and a re-fuelling probe! (not to mention the motion of the retracting gear - I wondered how that worked!) Here's to a great site and your dedication to a plane which you so obviously love! I hope I've done it justice! ps: I painted it in VF-1 colours, but gave it the late-model nozzles, I hope that isn't too innacurate...(though they do actually contract!) Take care, Ken.

    Hi Torsten ! This is one of the best Aviation-pages I've ever seen ! Unfortunately it's not about the mighty PHANTOM ! But the TOMCAT is not so bad either. I'm a german student-wso,trained at Pensacola NAS,so I'm lucky to see the Cats quite often. I took some good pics of the F-14D "VANDY I" when it was on visit here, but i send them home, pretty stupid. I'll go on a x-country in to weeks to Oceana NAS,hope to make some shots there, to send them to U.

    Well I have to say the F-14 tomcat has been the dominant jet in Navy aviation. I've been working on the F-14 for 5 years now. Worked with the F-14 A,B, and D. F-14D with VF-2, VF101, and now VF-201, F-14A. We are making a transition to the F/A-18 and I have to say it will be a hard pill to swallow.Getting rid of the TOMCAT will mean the end of an era.

    I'm sorry you have been infected with Tomcat fever. I can only hope that you will someday regain your sanity so that you can appreciate a truly superior aircraft, the F/A-18, of course. I am an engineer with Boeing on the F/A-18 program. The Hornet is the foundation and the future of naval aviation. All the F-14 has to say is that it came in somewhere between a "never-was" and a has-been. Every fighter shot down in Desert Storm was shot down by a Boeing product. Granted the F-14 did shoot down one helicopter. Sounds like an even match. Bob

    Good pictures. I've been with Grumman for 38 years and 27 of them on the F-14. We're still making them better.

    Great page! I served in the Navy with Vf-171,Vf-74, and Vf-43. I was noticing one of the photos of a tail of a plane in vf-101 squadron with the old Devil logo from vf-74. Do you have a pic of the entire plane, and if so would you send id to me?. i also noticed Vf-103 has the lightning bolt on the tail from vf-74.

    Dear Torsten, Congratulations on such a great Tomcat page, among all the other fellow Tomcat fans out there on the net. In case, you can't already tell I, too, am a fanatic of the venerable F-14 TOMCAT and A-6 Intruder. Anyway, I have been visiting your Tomcat page many times the past few months now, and i think now is my time to give thanks and add some advice & suggestions. First off, thank you for the Photos, i think they are one of the best quality Tomcat pictures out there, and i love to collect and download Tomcat pics from the 'Net. I have over 400 saved already. But no, I don't plan on ripping you off, by illegaly putting them on my webpage, as i dont plan on starting one. Second of all, i loved that part where you drew a Tomcat cockpit and put a dead F/A-18E mark. That would be the best kill for the Tomcat, I mean, I think a replacement for the Tomcat should be something that surpasses everything that even the advanced variants could do. The F/A-18E/F specifications show absolutely nothing close to even the F-14A-and the F-14A is the oldest Tomcat of all....... Now, regarding the advanced Tomcat variants section in your page, they are very well detailed, especially the one about the Super Tomcat 21 for the 21st century. However, I think i have information that i think you should add, to make it more complete, and in case some F/A-18 nut happens to come along(to shatter his expectations of the F/A-18E/F of course!) or a Navy official (maybe they might just get it through their tight-money cheapskate skulls about the F-14). Anyway, according to some various F-14 sites on the 'Net, and some books on the Tomcat that I have. The Super Tomcat 21 would have STEALTHY FEATURES!!! Due to adding composite materials-i.e. Radar Absorbent Materials, the ST21 would be able to match even the F-22. This would, as stealth works, reduce the Tomcat's radar signature significantly. This plus the Tomcat 21 features you already added would result in the following: 1.)The Super Tomcat 21 would have 90% of the Advanced Tactical Fighter requirements. and 2.)It would have to cost only 60% of developing a new aircraft(like that F/A-18E/F-they call that an upgrade? Right, and the moon is made of green cheese)Aside from that, I LOVE your page in the truest sense, and I am sincerely just trying to help out and add some information to make your already awesome page, even more awesome. So take it easy, and keep showing us how awesome the Tomcat is. TOMCATS 4 LIFE. Sincerely yours, Raoul M. "Tomcat Fan Supreme", NJ, USA

    Hi Torsten! My name is Karesz, i'm from Szeged, Hungary. This is my first visit at your site, but i knew it immediately: That's what i've looked for! That was not accidental when i searched on words like grumman and tomcat at the Yahoo! searchsite. It gave me this adress. I'm interested in military aviation, i tried to study at a pilot academy, but unfortunately the government thought it doesn't worth its cost, so they quitted it. That's why i'm seeking the chances of fulfilling my dreams abroad. But that's enough of me. Once again, your site is the most interesting for me. That was love at first sight, i think. :) I'm sure we'll meet each other thru' the net very often. My very best wishes: Karesz

    great web site. helped alot with my physics on lift created by the wings on the f-14. Tomcat has always been my favorite jet too. when u were wondering wjat the 2 holes below the underside of the gun on the f-14 i have a guess. I think that is were the shells are ejected after the bullet is shot. Let me know what u think of my idea if u get a chance. Tomcats 4ever

    Do you think you can find any more images of the Iranian Tomcats? Other problems with the Iranian F-14s were the radar and weapon systems, as well as the engines. There is still a considerable number of F-14s in the IRIAF. I think the number was 30 that were overhauled by foreign experts. In one article in Jane's Defense Page, the Iranians have modified several HAWK S.A.M.s for the air-to-air role, and have been fitted on the F-14s. There is still some AIM-54s in their inventory. Iranian Aircraft Industries, based outside of Teheran, produces several spare parts for the F-4, F-5, and the F-14. That's all the info I have for now. By the way, this is a great page.

    I started out looking for anything I coud find on the aircraft that was supposed to become the F5F about 1945? (Low wing twin radial with main fuselage starting at or near the leading edge of the wing). I believe it was the XF5F in the early design stages and may never have seen active service. One of theloves of a 17-18 year old many years ago. Would really like to get any information (text, drawings, pictures, etc. ) which may be out there eluding my search. If somebody could point me in the right direction I'd be forever grateful. Warm Regards Doc Lamb.

    I can't say I like the F-14 as much as yourself, but I can say I love airplanes especially the F-15 Eagle and the CF-18. (Thats right the CF-18!) I also find the pictures here top notch.

    P.S. I now run a small company "Picture Plates". We Manufacture customized photographic giftware. One of the items we sell is a "Tomcat Plate". It's a 6 1/2" - 7" plate trimmed in gold that has an actual photograph of the F14 glazed into the middle. These Tomcat Plates are incredibly beautiful and would be a welcome addition to any F14 memorabilia collection. The Plates sell for $20.00 for the white plate and $24.00 for the black plate. The photo on the white plate is an F14 flying over some small mountains (very nice). The photo on the black plate is a photo of the F14 from a distance (not a closeup) in the sunset in the background. This looks especially good on the black plate. If anyone is interested, they can contact me at Picture Plates PO Box 126 Levittown, NY 11756 tel (516) 796-8391 PicPlates@aol.com

    I worked for Grumman for 21 years and was the senior leadman of the assembly departments # 038 and 042 in building 01 in Bethpage , NY. I don't have a lot of photos, but somewhere in my house I have some photographs of the alluminum canopy frame being made at Alcoa's manufacturing plant. (Alcoa was Grumman's main supplier of this particular part. Eventually we switched to another suppliere because Alcoa closed the facility down. As you must know, at the time the F14 was in production, the canopy frame (Grumman part number A51B15500-15, -17 and -19, were the largest one piece aluminum castings in the world. The photos arte very interesting, they show the casting when it came out of the mold before in was trimmed and cleaned. Let me know if you're interested. Maybe I can find them. You got a nice page.

    I think the F-14 is the best fighter the world has It's eight i think phoneixs is far supeior to that of the F-18 it's movnuvrability and radar range also outdoes the F-18 the only better thing about the F-18 is that F-18 can carrier a wider variety of bombs but the F-14 has a better variety of missiles more missiels and is far supioer than any fighter jet ever

    Always had an affinity for the F-14, even tho' I lived about 2 miles from the McDonnell-Douglas plant in St Louis! I remember the first time I got to see one, it was better than that months copy of Playboy. Years later, I still have a place in my heart for the big ol' cat. Tell the girl from France, that there is a company in San Diego, CA called "Quartermaster" that sells all kind of US military insignia. I've got unit patches from the Ghostriders, the Jolly Rogers, and my personal favorite; VF-143 The Pukin' Dogs!! See ya...

    I recently was discharged from the U.S. Navy, where I worked aboard the U.S.S. Eisenhower (CVN-69) on steam-powered catapults. F-14's were a common sight for me and I too have a special affection for them, albeit not so much as your own!:-) Anyway, just wanted to say good job on this site. Looks nice and it puts out helpful info. As they say in the Navy, Bravo Zulu!

    Hi, I'm french and, as you say the F-14 is my favorite fighter too. It's a pleasure for me to meet another F-14 "fana". Just a question: do you know where it is possible to buy F-14's patches and pilots equipments? I'm working in French Air Force on Mirage 2000, so if you have any question e-mail me. Congratulations for your site and bye TOF.
