"Beaver" Tail |
These three graphics show the changing design of the so called "beaver" tail of the F-14. The
first design was only used for the first production aircraft and was later changed into an interim
change where the dielectric panels were removed. Later on the F-14 fleet was equipped with the
standard tail. |

Late F-14s generally show the same "beaver" tail as late F-14As (lowest picture), but its ECM
antenna is wider (Note: The above picture does not show this difference!) |
