Grumman F-14A Tomcat, tail code AJ200, was the commander's jet of Fighter Squadron 84 (VF-84), the Jolly Rogers, in 1989, when the squadron flew with Carrier Air Wing Eight from USS Theodore Roosevelt after moving over from USS Nimitz in 1988. Its black tail carried the white skull and crossbones, gold bands, and the black and gold V stripes inherited from the squadron's Vagabonds days, among the best-known markings in the Navy. VF-84 later flew from the carrier in Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm, and was disestablished on October 1, 1995, when its insignia passed to VF-103. 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 2003-2026 The Flying Mule, Inc.
