Description

This image from the archives of the U.S. Navy shows an F-14 Tomcat embarked aboard USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) flying a combat mission in direct support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. The F-14 Tomcat is a supersonic, twin-engine, variable sweep wing fighter whose primary missions are air superiority, fleet air defense, and precision strike against ground targets. Retired in 2006, F-14's are now only flown by the Republic of Iran, a 1976 gift to Iran when the United States was on good terms with the country.
