Grumman F-14A Tomcat

The F-14 Tomcat is a legend of the skies, which was in service between 1973 and 2006 and - with powerful radar and long-range missiles - was developed for carrier-based units.
The most produced variant was the F-14A, which itself received a number of upgrades during its production.
The late F-14As (those from the late 1980s) had a more reliable engine design and notably the AN/AXX-1 TCS camera housing and the AN/ALQ-126 ECM antenna.
Some even had modifications to the fuselage that allowed the installation of the TARPS reconnaissance pod.
From the early 1990s, the aircraft was capable of carrying bombs under the fuselage; in conjunction with the AN/AAQ-25 LANTIRN pod, these were laser-guided - the F-14A had evolved into a multi-role fighter.
