EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the power and presence of a Grumman F-14A Tomcat, military serial number 159450, of the United States Navy's VF-33 "Shooters" squadron, as it sits tied down on the flight deck of the USS America during a visit to Portsmouth Harbour in September 1982. The Tomcat, with its distinctive variable sweep wings and twin-engine design, was a formidable fighter aircraft used extensively by the US Navy and Marine Corps from the late 1970s until the early 2000s. The base code "AB" and call sign "204" can be seen on the fuselage of the Tomcat, indicating its assignment to VF-33. The aircraft carrier USS America, a Forrestal-class aircraft carrier, is moored in the background, with other support vessels and buildings along the harbor shoreline visible in the distance. The Grumman F-14 Tomcat was a significant aeronautical achievement, with advanced capabilities for its time, including variable sweep wings, twin-engine propulsion, and a sophisticated avionics system. Its use of the AWG-9 radar and the ability to carry the AIM-54 Phoenix and AIM-7 Sparrow missiles made it a formidable air-to-air combat platform. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the impressive capabilities of military aviation technology during the Cold War era. The Grumman F-14 Tomcat remains an iconic symbol of American military power and innovation.
