F-14 Tomcat Fighter Jets are also called the Fleet Defender, Aviation Art Prints, Posters, Pictures, Photos and Airplane Gifts
The F-14 Tomcat Fighter Jets were manufactured by Grumman. The F-14A
had two Pratt & Whitney TF-30 engines producing 20,900 lbs of thrust
each with a total of 41,800 lbs of thrust. Later models of the F-14
used 2 General Electric F110 engines producing, in afterburner, 27,000
lbs each and a total of 54,000 lbs of thrust. The F-14 Tomcat had
an empty weight of 40,100 lbs with a max weight of 74,000 lbs. The
tomcat was 62' 8" Long, 16' high and had a max wingspan of 64' 1".
The F-14 's cruise speed is 610 mph and it has a max speed of 1544 mph.
This is the military 's second swing wing jet fighter, the first was the
F-111 Aardvark. This plane is a 2 place jet fighter and was termed the fleet
defender. These Fighter Jets first flew on 21 Dec 1970 and had its
first deployment on the USS Kitty Hawk, CV-63 in 1977. The Tomcat
flew its first combat missions in September 1974. This jet fighter required 50 hours of
maintenance, compared with five to 10 hours for the Super Hornet, for each hour
of flight time.
I was on that first USS Kitty Hawk cruise with these great F-14 Tomcat Navy jets, C. Jeff Dyrek, webmaster.

Jeff,Hope your day is going well. Your website is the best
CV-63 and VF-114 site I have seen, but I am trying to get in touch with my
shipmates from the 77-78 cruise. I was a plane captain for VF-114 and based
at
Miramar with the Aardvarks. Any suggestions on sites or resources to
find some old buddies. |
