No, because of Iran. The USA rather scrap their Tomcats than give spare parts to their former friends. And how should you fly an aircraft without spare parts? Impossible :weep:

I'm so bummed I never got to see one up close (sure above me in formation off the coast of Florida but never really up close)
every now and then I come across some recent pictures of airborn Iranian F-14's, so the Iranian F-14's are still flying, the question is however how many they have air worthy.

I think even airliners has recent pic's of F14's flying round in Iran

:please!: :please!: :please!: can't take it anymore ... I've seen far too little of this great (to me most beautiful) bird.

Eventhough pics are only 10% of the real experience, it's beter than nothing for me. Thanks for all the nice pics everyone!
