| F-14 Tomcat |
The supersonic, twin-engine F-14 was the United State’s primary superiority fighter from 1974 to 2006. Its special swing-wing design allows it great performance over a full range of speeds and it can track up to 24 targets simultaneously with its advanced weapons control system. It can also attack 6 targets with missiles while continuing to scan the airspace. It was retired from the U.S. Navy fleet in 2006 and replaced by the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet.
