Getting Saudi Arabia to buy Tomcats instead of Eagles would have been a better idea.įinally, at the least, more F-14Ds should have been bought, perhaps two dozen more as "attrition" aircraft.

Remember, when the A-6 Intruder were prematurely retired, the Navy lost a long range bomber.įoreign adoption might have bought time for the Tomcat. Giving the Tomcat bombing capability early in its career, and taking over the A-6 Intruder might have extended its service life. Had the Navy delayed the F-14 program to get the proper engine, perhaps the Tomcat would not been canceled back in 1992. Its high cost and cost of flying one didn't help either. ![]() Those unreliable TF30 engines caused many to Tomcats to be lost, and compromised performance. I honestly believe that the F-14 was its worst enemy. Though its probably likely the Iranians donated one of their F-14s for Soviet military aid. desire to keep the awesome F-14 out of Soviet hands. I couldn't find anything more to substantiate this claim. Supposedly, during the 1970's when the Shah of Iran was overthrown, 48 of Iran's Tomcats were flown out to Israel.
