USN Fighter Squadron 32 (VF-32) Swordsmen uses the radio call-sign "Gypsy" with the call to arms of "Ready 32" and a response of "Gypsy Roll!" The squadron's last Gypsy Roll with the Tomcat took place in Septmeber of 2005, when it finally retired the F-14 in favor of the F/A-18F Super Hornet. Designed to carry the formidable long range AIM-54 Phoenix missile, the Grumman F-14 Tomcat was first flown on December 21st, 1970. Made famous by the Hollywood film Top Gun, the F-14 replaced the F-4 Phantom II as the US Navy's primary maritime air superiority fighter. Its design includes a variable geometry wing that can sweep back for high speed supersonic intercepts and forward for improved positioning in air to air dogfights. Nicknamed "Bombcat," the F-14 spent much of its late career in an air-to-ground role, carrying the Low Altitude Navigation and Targeting Infrared for Night (LANTIRN) system. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
