Beautiful picture of the F-14 Tomcat on the flight deck of a American Aircraft Carrier. Some interesting facts about the F-14 Tomcat are mentioned below... 1) The F-14 was the largest and heaviest US fighter to fly from an aircraft carrier. 2) The F-14 had incredible flexibility - it served as the Navy's maritime air superiority fighter, fleet defense interceptor, and aerial reconnaissance platform. That's three very different roles for one jet. 3) The F-14s wings can be 'overswept' to 75 degrees to save space on aircraft carriers. . . . . #aircraft #aviation #airforce #navalaviation #aircraftcarriers #usnavy #coldwar #coldwaraircraft #coldwarhistory #sovietunion #aircraftcarrier #f14 #f14tomcat #military #plane #aeroplane #aerialwarfare #combataircraft #multirolefighter #fighter #attackaircraft #dogfight #militaryphoto #aviationlovers #aviators #aviationworld #warfare
