A Cuban Tomcat? No, definitely not! But a Pacific Missile Test Center F-14D in front of an old hangar re-painted for the movie "A Few Good Men" with Tom Cruise and Jack Nickolson. (80k) [PMTC]
A NFWS F-14A painted with a special camouflage scheme to look like one of the bad guys. (53k) [Unknown. I got this slide from a Dutch photographer at the 1997 Gilze Rijen airshow.]
Long time after the US delivered some 79 F-14s to Iran, the Navy uses the Iranian Air Forces camouflage scheme for aggressor training at Top Gun (40k) [Unknown]
An early NASA F-14A with large wing glove stiffeners, beaver tail modification with a chute for spin recovery and moveable canards on the nose section. (58k) [MAP]
Back in the very early 1970s this F-14A, the 11th prototype, was photographed at the ramp at the Naval Air Test Center. (42k) [Mike Kopack, NY]
A more recent F-14A from the NATC with the standard blue-grey colour scheme. But wherefore camouflage when they apply bright red colour to the tails??? (58k) [Mike Kopack, NY]
A NATC F-14A in the early days of the Tomcat. Note the unusual ventral fins, the deleted gun and the tail markings. (60k) [MAP Scotland]
This photo was taken in the early days of the Tomcat, too. A Naval Missile Center F-14A, the same as above. (59k) [MAP Scotland]
