“Obsolete weapons do not deter.” – British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher The F-14 Tomcat program was initiated when it became obvious that the weight and maneuverability issues plaguing the U.S. Navy variant of the Tactical Fighter Experimental (TFX) (F-111B) would not be resolved to the Navy’s satisfaction. The Navy requirement was for a fleet air defense fighter (FADF) with the primary role of intercepting Soviet bombers before they could launch missiles against the carrier group. The Navy also wanted the aircraft to possess inherent air superiority characteristics. The Navy strenuously opposed the TFX, which incorporated the Air Force’s requirements for a low-level attack aircraft, fearing the compromises would cripple the aircraft, but were forced to participate in the program at direction of then Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara who wanted “joint” solutions to the service aircraft needs to reduce developmental costs. The prior example of the F-4 Phantom which was a Navy program later adopted by the USAF (under similar direction) was the order of the day. Vice Admiral Thomas Connolly, DCNO for Air Warfare took the developmental F-111A for a flight and discovered it was unable to go supersonic and had poor landing characteristics. He later testified to Congress about his concerns against the official Department of the Navy position and in May 1968, Congress killed funding for the F-111B allowing the Navy to pursue an answer tailored to their requirements. NAVAIR shortly issued an RFP for the Naval Fighter Experimental (VFX), a tandem two-seat fighter with maximum speed of Mach 2.2 and a secondary close air support role. Of the five companies that submitted bids (four of which incorporated variable-geometry wings as on the F-111), McDonnell Douglas and Grumman were selected as finalists in December 1968, and Grumman won the contract in January 1969. Grumman had been a partner on the F-111B, and had started work on an alternative when they saw the project heading south, and so had an edge on its competitors. Their early design mock-ups and cost projections were floated among Navy brass as an alternative to the F-111B. The winning Grumman design reused the TF30 engines from the F-111B, though the Navy planned on replacing them with the F401-PW-400 engines then under development by Pratt and Whitney for the Navy (in parallel with the related F100 for the USAF). Though lighter than the F-111B, it was still the largest and heaviest U.S. fighter to ever fly from an aircraft carrier, its size a consequence of the requirement to carry the large AWG-9 radar and AIM-54 Phoenix missiles, also from the F-111B and an internal fuel load of 16,000 lbs (7300 kg). The F-14 would also share a similar inlet duct, wing, and landing gear geometry with Grumman’s A-6 Intruder. The F-14 first flew on December 21st, 1970, just 22 months after Grumman was awarded the contract, and reached Initial Operational Capability (IOC) in 1973. While the Marine Corps was interested in the F-14 and went so far as to send pilots to VF-124 to train as instructors, they were never fully sold on the aircraft and pulled out when the stores management system for ground attack munitions was left undeveloped, leaving the aircraft incapable of dropping air-to-ground munitions (these were later developed in the 1990s). Pictured here is a stunning 1:72 scale diecast replica of a US Navy F-14B Tomcat fighter that was attached to VF-74 “Be-devilers”, then attached to Strike Fighter Wing Atlantic, which was deployed to NAS Oceana Air Show, Virginia Beach, Virginia, during 1994. #HA5247 Dimensions: Wingspan: 7-inches Length: 10-1/2-inches Features: – Diecast construction – Accurate markings and insignia – Full complement of weapons – Interchangeable landing gear – Opening canopy – Comes with two seated pilot figures – Comes with display stand Historical Account: “Oceana” – For 78 years, NAS Oceana, Dam Neck Annex, and NALF Fentress have provided world-class support to Navy and Joint operating forces. What began as a remote military auxiliary landing field, Oceana rose to meet the tremendous demands on naval aviation during World War II and beyond, as the City of Virginia Beach grew up around it. Today, the Navy’s East Coast Master Jet Base is the second largest employer in the City of Virginia Beach, and is a proud member of the Hampton Roads community. The airfields of NAS Oceana and NALF Fentress represent strategic resources within America’s Navy. One of nine Class IV Naval airport systems in the Navy, and one of the busiest airports in the entire region, NAS Oceana on a typical day supports about 600 operations for 17 squadrons and four Carrier Air Wings. Our Air Traffic Controllers work 10,000 cubic miles of airspace providing safe and expeditious flow of air traffic. Our terminal supports an average of 520 Navy Air Logistics Office requests, accounting for an average of 21,000 passengers, 1,200,000 pounds of baggage, and 850,000 pounds of cargo. The transient line supports 1,800 transient aircraft annually. Meanwhile, Dam Neck Annex is home to numerous training schoolhouses and Joint commands, and services 15,000 Sailors yearly. NAS Oceana is currently implementing Future Base Design, an innovative initiative to modernize installation capabilities, enhance resiliency, and reduce total ownership costs and footprint. By partnering with local, state, and industry entities in identifying mutually beneficial cooperative partnerships to meet capability requirements, Future Base Design execution will increase installation resiliency and effectiveness in direct support of warfighter readiness, mission priorities.
